I need a verse to compliment Romans 7:15, which says "Why do I the thing I know I shouldn't and not do the things I know I should?" I am looking for a Gospel verse that says something like, "Through God I can overcome temptation/regret/etc..." I am thinking about getting a tattoo with one verse on top and the other verse on the bottom with a symbol in the middle. Thanks a lot!

"No temptation has seized you....."
It's in 1 Corinthians....I gotta look it up
Here it is:
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Think about the fact that Christ went though the same types of temptations and did not sin. That God will not allow you to bear more than you can stand. And with the temptation make a way of escape so you will not have to sin. Do these help?
There have been many a time I have been in such situations and came through victorious.

if you are a christian, & you truly love God & want to please Him, you should NOT be concerned w/ getting a tatoo.
you should know what His Word says about such...
"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,
NOR PRINT ANY MARKS UPON YOU:
I am the LORD." (lev.19:28)
you are not to love the things of this world....
tatooing definitely does NOT please God...
it is "of the world".
1 john 2:15 ... "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
1 john 2:16 ..... "For all that is in the world ... is not of the Father, but isof the world."
rom.12:2 ... "be not conformed to this world"
1 cor. 7:31 says, "the fashion of this world passeth away."

Genesis 6:5-7
5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them

In the middle you could have an image of Jesus cutting your head off.
