And
lead us not into temptation.
(Luke
11:4)
If
you think you are standing firm,
be careful that you don't fall! (1
Corinthians 10:12)
No
temptation has seized you except
what is common to man. (1
Corinthians 10:13)
And
God is faithful; he will not let
you be tempted beyond what you
can bear. (1 Corinthians 10:13)
But
when you are tempted, he will
also provide a way out so that
you can stand up under it. (1
Corinthians 10:13)
When
tempted, no one should say,
"God is tempting me."
For God cannot be tempted by
evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
but each one is tempted when, by
his own evil desire, he is
dragged away and enticed. (James
1:13-14)
Then,
after desire has conceived, it
gives birth to sin; and sin,
when it is full-grown, gives
birth to death. (James 1:15)
Watch
and pray so that you will not
fall into temptation. The spirit
is willing, but the body is
weak.
(Matthew 26:41)
Like
a muddied spring or a polluted
well is a righteous man who
gives way to the wicked.
(Proverbs 25:26)
