King James Bible - Temptation

What the Bible says about: Temptation

Genesis 3:1-13	Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
	And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
	But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
	And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
	For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
	And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
	And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
	And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
	And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
	And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
	And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
	And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
	And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Genesis 20:6	And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Genesis 22:1	And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Genesis 39:7-10	And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
	But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
	There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
	And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
Exodus 34:12	Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

Psalms 17:4	Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
Psalms 73:2-26	But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
	For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
	For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
	They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
	Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
	Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
	They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
	They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
	Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
	And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
	Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
	Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
	For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
	If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
	When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
	Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
	Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
	How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
	As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
	Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
	So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
	Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
	Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
	Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
	My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

	If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
	Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
	We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
	Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
	My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
	For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
	Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Proverbs 2:10-12	When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
	Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
	To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
Proverbs 2:16	To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Proverbs 5:6-21	Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
	Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
	Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
	Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
	Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
	And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
	And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
	And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
	I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
	Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
	Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
	Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
	Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
	Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
	And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
	For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
Proverbs 6:27	Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Proverbs 9:15-17	To call passengers who go right on their ways:
	Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
	Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

Genesis 3:1-13

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
