Temptation

Standing firm when it is hard. 12 verses, King James Version.

  • There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
  • Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
  • Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
  • For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
  • For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
  • Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
  • Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
  • This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
  • The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
  • But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
  • For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
  • Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
