What Does the Bible Say About Temptation?

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it."

"When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed."

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

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

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are — yet he did not sin."

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

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."

"Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace..."

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
