38 Be alert and pray, so that you do not give in to temptation. The spirit of a person is truly willing [i.e., to do a certain thing], but his physical nature is [often] too weak [to carry it out].”

Matthew 4:1-11
1 Then Jesus was led up to the desert by the Holy Spirit in order to be put to the test by the devil.
2 After He had fasted forty days and nights, He was [very] hungry.
3 The tempter [i.e., the devil] came and said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into bread.”
4 But Jesus answered, “It is written [Deut. 8:3], ‘A person is not to live by [eating] bread only, but [instead] by [believing and obeying] every statement spoken by God.’”
5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city [i.e., Jerusalem] and placed Him on an [elevated] wing of the Temple,
6 and said to Him, “If you are the Son of God jump off, for it is written [Psalm 91:11-12]: ‘He will put His angels in charge of you’ and ‘They will lift you up with their hands so you do not trip over a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “It is also written [Deut. 6:16], ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
8 The devil took Him again, [this time] to a very high mountain and showed Him all the world’s kingdoms, along with their splendor,
9 and said to Him, “I will give you all these things if you fall to the ground and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus replied to him, “Get away from me Satan, for it is written [Deut. 6:13], ‘You are supposed to worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him.’”
11 Then the devil left Him and angels came and tended to His needs [i.e., food, water, etc.].

7 So, you should submit yourselves to God, but oppose the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 1:12-16
12 The person who perseveres under trials is blessed, because when he has been approved by God, he will receive the crown of [never ending] life, which God has promised to those who love Him.
13 No one should say when he is tempted, “God is tempting me,” because God cannot be tempted by evil and He does not tempt anyone.
14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own evil desire.
15 Then, when the evil desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And when sin is fully grown, it produces [spiritual] death.
16 [So], do not be deceived, my dearly loved brothers.
Matthew 26:41
41 Be alert and pray, so that you do not give in to temptation; the spirit [of a person] is truly willing [i.e., to do a certain thing], but his physical nature is [often too] weak [to carry it out].”

13 Every temptation that you have experienced is one that commonly happens to people. But God is dependable and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability [to cope with it]; [instead] He will provide, along with the temptation, also a way of escaping [it], so you people will be able to endure it.
