Compromise

Pray that you will not compromise with temptation. It's in the Bible, Matthew 26:41, TLB. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

Don't even start down an evil path. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 4:14-15, TLB. "Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way."

Don't let sinners influence you. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 1:10, TLB. "My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them."

The man who walks righteously does not compromise. It's in the Bible, Isaiah 33:15-16, TLB. "He who walks righteously and speaks what is right, who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes, who stops his ears against plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil—this is the man who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. His bread will be supplied, and water will not fail him."

You don't have to give in to compromise. It's in the Bible, I Corinthians 10:13, TLB. "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."

Don't give the devil a chance. It's in the Bible, Ephesians 4:27, TLB. "And do not give the devil a foothold."

There can be no compromise when it comes to the devil, we are either for Christ or Satan. It's in the Bible, Matthew 12:30, NIV. "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters."
