hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest

prevail.

committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Ephesians 4:17-19

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles

walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the

ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

uncleanness with greediness.

that we desired of him.

the husband.

husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not

for your incontinency.

2 Peter 2:9-10

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the

unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

dignities.

also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth

fornication sinneth against his own body.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,

which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,

which are God's.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-7

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and

honour;

Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

Sodomy

Romans 1:16-32

16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Leviticus 18:22

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination

Deuteronomy 23:17

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

Jude 1:7

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire

Temptations

James 1:12-16

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.

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.

Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James 1:24

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her

perfect work, that ye maybe perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

1 Peter 4:12-13

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some

strange thing happened unto you:

be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

is weak.

Ephesians 6:10-12

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the

devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Hebrews 4:14-16

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the

Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;

but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and

find grace to help in time of need.

I Corinthians 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.

Thoughts

Isaiah 55:7-9

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return

unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly

pardon.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways,

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Matthew 15:18-20

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they

defile the man.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false

witness, blasphemies:

These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a

man.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever

things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever

things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there by any praise, think on

these things.

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your

mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling

down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself

against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience

of Christ;

Wanting

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye

have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou

art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my

head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the

house of the Lord for ever.

Wisdom

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and

upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one

another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the

Lord.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way

of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought

her unto the man.

Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

they shall be one flesh.

hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for

your incontinency.
