What does the Bible say about fleeing temptation?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches us to flee from temptation, as seen in Joseph's refusal of Potiphar's wife.

In Genesis 39, we see a clear example of how Joseph fled temptation when faced with the advances of Potiphar's wife. He correctly understood that yielding to her demands would be a great wickedness and a sin not just against her, but fundamentally against God. The Bible frequently instructs believers to avoid situations that might lead to sin, as seen in 2 Timothy 2:22, which tells us to 'flee also youthful lusts.' This act of fleeing demonstrates a commitment to holiness and an understanding of the seriousness of sin.
