What Every Christian Needs To Know About Temptation

I was looking for a cord for a device I had not used in a while. And I knew exactly where to look. My wife keeps a box where she dumps gadget stuff that me and the kids inevitably lose. I rummaged through the box, never finding what I was looking for. But I did find several digital cameras. I pulled each one out of the box, remembering purchasing or using them for special events.

But there are two practical exhortations in this chapter. Paul exhorts his readers to live as Christians in verses 33-34. And he exhorts his readers to labor as Christians in verse 58.
