What does the Bible mean by temptation?
Looking at the Young s Concordance entry for temptation, you will see that temptation means “a trial” or “proof”. It tests our sincerity and commitment. In some modern versions, including the New King James Version which we are using in this course, the Old Testament Hebrew word “nasah”, translated “tempt” in the Authorised Version, is translated “test”, as you will see in the examples we will look at.
