15.  (Mat 26:41) "Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation;
the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.“
 (Luk 8:13) "Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the
word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of
temptation fall away.
 (Luk 11:4) 'And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is
indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'“
 (1Co 10:13) No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and

but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be
able to endure it.
