What are the three generations of sin in James 1:15?

This imagery of three generations is a play on the different Greek verbs used in James 1:15

James 1 ¹³ When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; ¹⁴ but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. ¹⁵ Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. (NIV)

The Greek text here reads 1:15  εἶτα ἡ ἐπιθυμία συλλαβοῦσα τίκτει ἁμαρτίαν ἡ δὲ ἁμαρτία ἀποτελεσθεῖσα ἀποκύει θάνατον

The verb syllambanō can just mean “take”, but in the context of reproduction – for example with Elisabeth and Mary – it means conceive, become pregnant. Likewise tiktō “bring forth” means “give birth to” as from a woman. Straightforward.

However the second word rendered “give birth to” in some versions (like NIV above) in James 1:15 is better rendered “bring forth” or “produce” – as can be seen in James 1:18 where  apokyeō  is used a second time. And in the example below the RSV renders the word “bring forth” both for sin and for God, as a contrast of two different begettals.

¹⁵ Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin; and sin when it is full-grown brings forth death. ¹⁶ Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.¹⁸ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. (RSV)

These gives gender to desire (the grandmother), sin (the father, male), death (the grandchild)
