Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation—The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches, feed me with food convenient for me: lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the L ORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
The L ORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul—I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible—He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth—The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations.
