Temptation and the Christian

What you need to know when you get tired of fighting the battle against temptation.

 (1 Samuel 17:26 KJV)  And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

(2 Samuel 11:2 KJV)  And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

(Exodus 20:17 GNB)  “Do not desire another man’s house; do not desire his wife, his slaves, his cattle, his donkeys, or anything else that he owns.”

(Ephesians 4:28 KJV)  Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

(Ephesians 4:29 KJV)  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

(James 1:13 KJV)  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:

(James 1:14 KJV)  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

(James 1:15 KJV)  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

(1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV)  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.

(Genesis 22:1 KJV)  And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

(1 Corinthians 2:16 KJV)  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

(1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV)  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

(1 Corinthians 3:17 KJV)  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
