| Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. |
| They … lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. |
| Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost … was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. |
| In that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted. – Simon, Simon, … Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. |
