unable to be tempted, one who cannot be tempted pertaining to not being able to be tempted There may be some difficulties involved in rendering the passive expression in JAS 1:13, but it is often possible to restructure this as an active expression with an indefinite person made the subject, for example, ‘no one can tempt God to do what is bad.’ It is also possible to shift the meaning slightly in terms of desire or will and thus say ‘God would never want to do what is evil.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀπείραστος. For the gen. constr. after this negative adj. in Jas 113 © γὰρ θεὸς ἀπείραστός ἐστιν κακῶν, cf. P Tebt I. 12426 (ς. B.C. 118), where certain allotments are described as ἀσυκοφαντή(τους) kal ἀδιστάστους ὄντας πάσης αἰ[τ]ίας, ‘subject to no dispute or question on any ground” (Edd.). The citation may also help to support the neuter sense which Hort assigns to ἀπείραστος in the NT passage. For similar gen. construction with negative adjectives numerous passages may be quoted: cf. Pro/eg. p. 235f.
