tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil,
neither tempteth he any man: (14) But every man is tempted, when he is
drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. (15) Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death.
(1JN 2:15-17 KJV ) Love not the world, neither the
things {that are} in the world. If any man love the world, the love of
the Father is not in him. For all that {is} in the world, the lust of
the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of
the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the
lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(1CO 10:13) 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}. (KJV)

Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (KJV)

brother, and slew him. (KJV)

unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I
commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed {is} the
ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat {of} it all the days of
thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and
thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast
thou taken: for dust thou {art}, and unto dust shalt thou return.

(2PE 2:9) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
(KJV)
(MAT 25:46 ) And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but
the righteous into life eternal. (KJV)
(2TH 1:9 ) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (KJV)
