Proverbs 1: 10 My son, if sinners entice you ,
Do not let yourself win.
11 If they say, Come with us! Let's make snares , pay blood
Tendons traps one who sits in vain on his innocence,
12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol ,
And whole, as those that go down into the pit ;
13 We shall find all precious substance ,
We will fill our houses with spoil ;
14 Cast in thy lot among us;
There will be a scholarship for all of us !
15 My son , do not put yourself in the way with them,
Withhold thy foot from their path ;
16 For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.
Proverbs 24: 1 Do not envy the wicked men,
And do not want to be with them ;
2 For their heart meditates ruin,
And their lips talk of mischief .
2 Peter 2: 18 speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness , those that were clean escaped from them who live in error , 19 promising them freedom, when they themselves are slaves of corruption , because everyone is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
Ephesians 5: 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light! 9 For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness , righteousness and truth. 10 proving what is pleasing to the Lord , 11 and no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them .
1 Corinthians 15: 33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners .
