ENTER not into the *path of the wicked*, and go not in the *way of evil men*. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and *pass away*. _Proverbs 4:14—15._ *MY son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not*. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: . . . Cast in thy lot among us, let us all have one purse: *My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path*. _Proverbs 1:10—12, 14—15._ YE adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the *friendship of the* world *is enmity with God*? _James 4:4._ BE ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness! _II Corinthians 6:14._ By the help of God you can cut loose from the old crowd, and live a clean life—Begin now. WHEREFORE *come out from among them*, and be ye *separate*, saith the Lord. _II Corinthians 6:17._ Read: Proverbs 29:25; Mark 8:38; Matthew 5:11,12. Excuses. *I can not give up my EVIL WAYS!* If you seek to know the Lord and trust In Him, He *will* give you power to overcome your evil ways. He has done this for others, *why not for you*?” I CAN do all things through *Christ* which *strengtheneth me*. _Philippians 4:13._ IF the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. _John 8:36._ AND Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, *All power is given unto me in heaven* and in *earth*. _Matthew 28:18._ Christ came with power from heaven *for you*, if you will appropriate it— THERE hath *no temptation* taken you but such as is common to man: but *God is faithful*, who will not *suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able*; but will with the temptation also *make a way to escape*, that ye may be *able to bear it*. _I Corinthians 10:13._ This verse shows that your temptations are “*common*” to men, and not peculiar to you, and you have no harder fight than others. WHEREFORE *he is able also to save* to the uttermost *them that come unto God by Him*, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. _Hebrews 7:25._ As you *think on your evil ways*, think of what God says concerning the life of sin, and be warned by it.
