Difference between revisions of "The occasions and allurements of sin"

Latest revision as of 23:07, 29 December 2012

He who ventures upon the occasion of sin and
then prays, "Lord, lead me not into temptation,"
is like him who thrusts his finger into the fire,
and then prays that it may not be burnt.

He who will not fly from the occasions and
allurements of sin, though they may seem
ever so pleasant to the eye, or sweet to the
taste—shall find them in the end more sharp
than vinegar, more bitter than wormwood,
more deadly than poison.
