TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:15 When evil desires conceive, they give birth to sinful actions (literally sin, personified as an infant). When the infant sin is allowed to grow to full maturity, it gives birth to death, in opposition to “the crown of [eternal] life” (1:12).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

εἶτα ἡ ἐπιθυμία συλλαβοῦσα τίκτει ἁμαρτίαν

thereafter the desire /having/_conceived /is/_bearing sin

James uses the word Then to indicate that what he describes in this verse happens after something that he described in the previous verse. However, he does not mean that this happens after a person is “dragged away and enticed,” as he said at the end of that verse. Rather, he means that it happens after a person begins to entertain the temptation of a wrong “desire,” as he said at the beginning of that verse. It may be helpful to your readers to use the word “when” to indicate this. Alternate translation: “When desire has conceived, it bears sin”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

εἶτα ἡ ἐπιθυμία συλλαβοῦσα τίκτει ἁμαρτίαν

thereafter the desire /having/_conceived /is/_bearing sin

James continues to speak of desire as if it were a living thing, in this case as if it were a woman who became pregnant and gave birth. Alternate translation: “If a person entertains wrong desires, he will become more and more inclined to sin until he finally does commit sin”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἡ δὲ ἁμαρτία ἀποτελεσθεῖσα, ἀποκύει θάνατον

the ¬the and sin /having_been/_finished_out /is/_bringing_forth death

James also speaks of sin as if it were a living thing, a baby girl who grew up to be a woman who also became pregnant and gave birth. Alternate translation: “and if he continues to sin, it will affect more and more of his life until it causes his death”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀποκύει θάνατον

/is/_bringing_forth death

Here, death could mean: (1) spiritual death, that is, separation from God. This is the interpretation in UST. (2) physical death. Alternate translation: “causes the person to die”
