Endure temptation. Don't give in. When you give in to what you know is wrong, you become slave to it:

Rom. 6:12: "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."

V. 13: "Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."

V. 14: "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

V. 15: "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 

V. 16: "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"

Endure temptation and receive the *CROWN OF LIFE*.
