in Versuchung gerieten

[edmont]

Does in Versuchung gerieten refer to being tempted, or does it mean one actually gave in to the temptation?

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi edmont!

It's being tempted, maybe even struggling with temptation, but giving in to temptation would be "der Versuchung erliegen"
Don't we all know it...

Cheers

Hi Duckduck!  Thanks. 
Ok, it's not "give in to temptation."  But can it be "fall into temptation"?

[tiorthan]

It can be in some cases.

Thanks very much, tiorthan.
