Overcoming Temptation

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. …

Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.

Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
