Many verses that will give you strength over lust, but they are just words on a page if you have never repented and crucified your fleah with Christ!
Are you abiding or sinning?
1Jn 3:6 Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him.
The word of God is very clear who the children of God are, and who the children of the devil are, in this verse as well as many others that state what a true follower of Christ does.
They abide in Him.
G3306
μένω
menō
men'-o
A primary verb; to stay (in a given place, state, relation or expectancy): - abide, continue, dwell, endure, be present, remain, stand, tarry (for), X thine own.
And do not sin! Another words a true convert will first come into the kingdom purged and cleansed that can only come from real repentance and faith, laying aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness first.
Then if the repentance is real and genuine, the act of willful, predetermined, deliberate sin and rebellion has stopped, ceased, no more, put to death, crucified with Christ, never to be brought out again!
You can argue all day and night about what sin is or isn’t, or that all sin is the same cop out, but the bottom line here is the act where the desires meet the will, and rebellious actions against God come into effect!
The scriptures must harmonize together, and they do when you take the whole council of God, which clearly negates the sin every day in thought, word and deed crowd, who was told they are saved by saying the sinners prayer, and that they will continue to sin as true follower of Christ.
1Jn 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Again the sin dilemma is explained by the word of God, telling you that the ones who are born of God (born again) DO NOT sin willfully against God, for they WILL keep themselves, such as putting on the full armor of God, guarding their heart, filling their mind with the precious truths of God, and avoiding all forms of temptation and evil as commanded.
Now if you consider this being self-righteous, or prideful in any way, then you are receiving this message in your carnal mind that has been clouded by the wolves telling you constantly that sin is inbred into your members, you cannot stop, maybe slow down a bit, but if you could stop fornication, lying, cheating, adulteration, lusting after the things of the world, getting drunk, etc., then you wouldn’t need Jesus!
Again another false straw man excuse for sin, when the word clearly explains those born of God, who came to Him on His terms, DO not sin, and if they choose to do so, then woe to them!
The great mercy of God is there and available to all those who are still in bondage to sin and the lies as I was for most of my adult life and more so when I thought I got saved, but here is the great lie, that satan whisper’s in your ear, telling you, that you can sin (rebel against God) ant not die spiritually!
The great mercy of God also, does not cover the unrepentant sinner, who is struggling with many addictions and sin, He is waiting patiently for now for you to repent, stop sinning, get clear of all wrong doing, then seek His mercy, not think all is well since you said a little prayer, and confessed you are a sinner! God already knows that!
He commands all mankind everywhere to repent, forsake their flesh and worldly passions, and come to Him broken and dead to sin, now alive to Him. Please read Romans Ch. 6, it applies to all professing Christians today; it’s not some foreign provision, but a reality few will adhere to.
Pro 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
So do you know God? Or are you playing games with Him by defending sin and then blaming this sin on a false inbred nature your denomination or bible teacher told you to be true!!
Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
Gal 6:8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things."
Romans 12:2
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing, and perfect will."
Romans 12:9-10 (this could be a good one in regards to greed, putting others above yourself)
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."
This is one that I have started to memorize, I find it quite helpful when I'm feeling down on myself or my past decisions.
1 Timothy 1:15-16
"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life."
