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.
In criminal contempt, the contempt charges become a separate matter, but they may be heard by the judge who made them. In addition, the same judge may commence punishment immediately, and the punishment may be in effect until the contempt case is settled. Critics have argued that judgesâwho are the principal offended partyâmay be too harsh.
