3. Bible Verses about
Addiction
I Corinthians 10:13 ESV

be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that
you may be able to endure it.
I Peter 5:8 ESV
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking
someone to devour.
James 1:12-15 ESV
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive
the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted,
“I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But
each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has
conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
I John 2:16 ESV
For all that is in the world-the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessionsis not from the Father but is from the world.

enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and
things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the
kingdom of God.
