Temptation |
Luke 4
8Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and
serve him only.'
1 Corinthians 10
13No 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 a way out so that you can stand up
under it.
Ephesians 6
The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the
devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
James 1
Trials and Temptations
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials
of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith
develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you
may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
2 Peter 2
9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from
trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing
their punishment.
James 1
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he
has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to
those who love him. 13When tempted, no one should say, "God is
tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away
and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to
sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Proverbs 1
10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.
Matthew 26
41"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The
spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
Luke 22
40On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not
fall into temptation."
Revelation 3
10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also
keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to
test those who live on the earth.
Hebrews 2
18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to
help those who are being tempted.
Hebrews 4
15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize
with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as
we are--yet was without sin.
John 16
33"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have
peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the
world."
