Jesus did this and was without sin.
If Jesus was tempted, then this passage applies to His flesh:
James 1:14 says EVERY MAN. Was Christ a man? Yes. And when EVERY MAN is tempted it is because something in his flesh is enticed to sin.
He did not sin because He was walming in the Spirit ALL THE TIME.

So do you think Jesus was tempted to have sleep with Mary Magdalene?
Steal the bag from Judas?
Take Peter's sword and finish off the high priest's servant?
Which sin was he temped with?
