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 : But every man is tempted , when he is drawn away of his own lust , and enticed . Then when lust hath conceived , it bringeth forth sin : and sin , when it is finished , bringeth forth death . Watch and pray , that ye enter not into temptation . And he (JESUS CHRIST) was there in the wilderness forty days , tempted of Satan ; and was with the wild beasts ; and the angels ministered unto him . For in that he himself (JESUS CHRIST) hath suffered being tempted , he is able to succour them that are tempted . For we have not an high priest (JESUS CHRIST)which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities ; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
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 . Blessed is the man that endureth temptation : for when he is tried , he shall receive the crown of life , which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
