| Lust |
|
2

Flee
the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love
and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure
heart. |
|

Rather,
clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think
about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. |

each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged
away and enticed. |

I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already

Temptation |
|
1
Corinthians 10:13
|
No
temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God
is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can
bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out
so that you can stand up under it. |
|

Consider
it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. |

is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood
the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised
to those who love him. |

When
tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For
God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; |
|

Submit
yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you. |
Heart |
|

|
For
out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual
immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. |
|

|
Delight
yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your
heart. |
|

Above
all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. |
|

as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he
to thee; but his heart is not with thee. |

Body |
|
1

|
We
should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did--and
in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. |
|

For
if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but
if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you
will live, |
|
1
Corinthians 3:16
|
Don't
you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit
lives in you? |
|
1
Corinthians 6:18-20
|
Flee
from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside
his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,
who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your
own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your
body. |
| Mind |
|

Everyone
has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you;
but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about
what is evil. |

Finally,
brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. |
|
Colossians
3:16

Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish
one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and
spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. |
|
Colossians
3:2
|
Set
your minds on things above, not on earthly things. |
|
Romans
12:2
|
Do
not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. |
Eyes |
|
Job
31:1
|
I
made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl. |
|

101:3a
|
I
will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless
men I hate; they will not cling to me. |
|

27:20

Death
and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes
of man. |
|
Matthew
6:22-23
|
The
eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole

body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is
darkness, how great is that darkness! |

For
out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. |
|
Ephesians
5:3-4
|
But
among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,

for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish
talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. |
|

16:16, NAS
|
It
came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged
him, that his soul was annoyed to death. |

smooth talk. |

Do
not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. |
|
2

Do
not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness
and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have
with darkness? |
|
Proverbs
13:20
|
He
who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers
harm. |

just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for
it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." |
|
Ephesians
6:11
|
Put
on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against
the devil's schemes. |
|
1

|
...his
work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring
it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will
test the quality of each man's work. |
