Fighting Lust Flashcards
Proverbs 6:20-24
My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck. When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you. For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life, keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman. (Proverbs 6:20-24 NIV)

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.

The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. (1 John 2:15-17 NIV)

At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we don’t know how to pray for what we need. But the Spirit intercedes along with our groans that cannot be expressed in words.
