Guest Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I am looking for scriptures in regards to giving into temptation. To be more precise, I am looking for scriptures with the following moral: When you give into temptation, instead of your thirst being quenched, you just want more. Please help me find these scriptures! Thanks.
bluetuesday Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 i'm not aware of such a scripture. why are you looking for it? you already KNOW that the phenomenon you describe is true.
SoCalCatman72 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 I don't have my bible at work today (gasp), It's still in my bags from this weekend. I'll look around later, but I would suggest you start with Romans 6,7 & 8, 2 Corinthinans, and James. I'll try to post some specific scriptures later.
suegail Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Is this along the lines of what you're looking for? For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God - - through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:18-25)
