Brief Comment Pertaining to James 1:13 and Sirach 15:11-12 (in Greek)

Some are inclined to believe that James had Sirach 15:11-20 in mind when he wrote 1:13ff. I'm not going to dispute this suggestion now, but I wanted to post Sirach 15:11-12 in Greek, then let the reader make his or her own decision:

μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι διὰ Κύριον ἀπέστην· ἃ γὰρ ἐμίσησεν, οὐ ποιήσεις. μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι αὐτός με ἐπλάνησεν· οὐ γὰρ χρείαν ἔχει ἀνδρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ.
