[Temptation.
How to gain the VICTORY.]
When you are tempted remember that Christ has promised to deliver you.
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 OF ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it.
I Corinthians 10:13.
