Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. King James 2000 Bible. Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. American King James Version.
If the conviction for contempt resulted from the defendant's failure to perform an act that he is still able to perform, the court may simply order him imprisoned until he performs it. In California, the statute of limitations for contempt is two years after the act or omission that constituted the contempt occurred.
If CIVIL contempt is sought for a violation of a court order Â§16.1-292 allows for a disposition that might include incarceration until the contempt is purged (for example the support arrearage or a portion of it is paid or the child returned to the lawful custodian, or as ordered in each particular case).
