12 »All things are lawful for me,« but not all things are helpful. »All things are lawful for me,« but I will not be mastered by anything.
2 You desire and do not have; so you kill. And you covet and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.
7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, »You shall not covet.«
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, »I am being tempted by God«; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself does not tempt anyone.
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.
13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man. And God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which is idolatry.
