Quora Question: What verse in the Bible can I use when faced with Temptation?
Sin in the life of a Christian
2 Corinthians 10:5
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
King James Version (KJV)
James 4:7
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
King James Version (KJV)
Psalms 27:14
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
King James Version (KJV)
The verb Wait = "remain in some place" is from late 14c.; that of "to see to it that something occurs"
To wait (something) out "endure a period of waiting"
Waiting game is recorded from 1835, originally in horse-racing.
When speed, not stoutness, is the best of a horse, quite a contrary system is practiced. With such a horse, the jockey plays a waiting game; that is, he carefully nurses him through the race, so as not to distress him by over pacing him; as the finish approaches, he creeps up to his horses by degrees, but does not quit them to go in front till he sees that the pace has made them "safe," — when he lets loose and wins. [James Christie Whyte, "History of the British Turf," London, 1840]
