22 That which fell among thorns, denotes that hearer in whom worldly cares, and deceitful riches, choke the word, and render it unfruitful.
15 For we have not a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who was tried in all points, according to the likeness of his nature to our ours, without sin.
1 Also, brethren, if a man be surprised into any fault, you, the spiritual men, set such a one right again in the spirit of meekness; taking a view of yourself, lest even you be tempted.
9 the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous to a day of judgment to be punished;
2 where he continued forty days, and was tempted by the devil. Having eaten nothing all that time, when it was ended he was hungry:
13 No trial has come upon you but such as belongs to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried above what you are able, but will, with the trial, also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear.
41 Watch and pray, that you be not overcome by temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
3 knowing that the proof of your faith works out patience.
13 Let no one who is tempted say, Certainly I am tempted by God: for God is incapable of being tempted by evil things, and he tempts no one.
13 and lead us not into temptation, but preserve us from evil.
12 Blessed is the man who sustains trial, for becoming an approved person, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them who love him.
20 But, added he, that which proceeds out of the man, is what pollutes the man:
21 for from within the human heart proceed vicious machinations, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts,
22 insatiable desires, malevolence, fraud, immodesty, envy, calumny, arrogance, levity.
23 All these evils issue from within, and pollute the man.
