Bible Verses About Temptation

but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

Right it is not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.

Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;

but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat--shall not his conscience--he being infirm--be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience--in regard to Christ ye sin;

wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh--to the age--that my brother I may not cause to stumble.

No temptation hath taken you--except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it .

and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' --do not eat, because of that one who shewed it , and of the conscience, for the Lord's is the earth and its fulness:

and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?

and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?

Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;

Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.

and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Christ;

and no wonder--for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light;

no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform themselves as ministrants of righteousness--whose end shall be according to their works.

and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.
