My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
