Addiction
      1  There  has  no  temptation  overtaken  you  but
      that  which  is  common  to  man:  but  God  is

      faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted
      above  what  you  are  able;  but  will  with  the
      temptation also make a way to escape, that
      you  may  be  able  to  bear  it.  So,  my  dearly

      beloved, flee from idolatry. 2 Watch and pray,

      that  you  do  not  enter  temptation:  the spirit
      indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.


      3 Blessed is the man that endures temptation:
      for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown
      of  life,  which  the  Lord  has  promised  to  them
      that  love  him.  Let  no  one  say  when  he  is
      tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot
      be  tempted  with  evil,  neither  does  he  tempt
      anyone: but every man is tempted, when he is
      drawn  away  by  his  own  lust,  and  enticed.

      Then when lust has conceived, it brings about
      sin:  and  sin,  when  it  is  finished,  brings  death.
      Don’t get it wrong, beloved brethren.  4 For in
      that Christ himself has suffered being tested, he

      is able to secure them that are tested.
