Jesus, the ultimate tag-team partner

"No, I drive my body and train it, for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified."
-1 Corinthians 9:27

We have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. We need to learn how to resist all earthly temptations, not just temptations of the flesh that Paul usually infers. That kind of training can never end because the devil is always presenting new temptations, perhaps more subtle each time, until we let our guard down and he gets a hit in. We must be vigilant and rely on Jesus as our personal trainer to get us ready to handle it ourselves or tag Jesus in when it gets to be too much for us.
