Temptation: Resistance To

…and after some time his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.” …

So we prayed to our God and posted a guard against them day and night.

“I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I gaze with desire at a virgin?

If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit, …

…if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a cloak, …

…if my land cries out against me and its furrows weep together, …

As for the deeds of men—by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.

But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped. …

Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.

The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts.

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.

Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God.

Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you.
