James 1:12-15

When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.

Psalms 141:3-5

Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies. Let a righteous man strike me - it is a kindness; let him rebuke me - it is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers.

Galatians 6:7-9

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
