Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for“ bad company corrupts good character.”Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning. For to your shame I say that some of you don’t know God at all.

Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment.”

If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise.

Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:“ I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

Then I heard another voice calling from heaven,“ Come away from her, my people. Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her.

I am a friend to anyone who fears you— anyone who obeys your commandments.

They may say,“ Come and join us. Let’s hide and kill someone! Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave; let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.Think of the great things we’ll get! We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.Come, throw in your lot with us; we’ll all share the loot.”My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths.They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder.If a bird sees a trap being set, it knows to stay away.But these people set an ambush for themselves; they are trying to get themselves killed.Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to what they said. In his presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him and always thought about the honor of his name.

Her house is the road to the grave. Her bedroom is the den of death.

He followed her at once, like an ox going to the slaughter. He was like a stag caught in a trap,awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart. He was like a bird flying into a snare, little knowing it would cost him his life.

Wisdom will save you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted.These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths.They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil.Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong.Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God.Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave.The man who visits her is doomed. He will never reach the paths of life.So follow the steps of the good, and stay on the paths of the righteous.

So Abram settled in the land of Canaan, and Lot moved his tents to a place near Sodom and settled among the cities of the plain.But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord.

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals( including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.

The young men replied,“ This is what you should tell those complainers who want a lighter burden:‘ My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!

But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the older men and instead asked the opinion of the young men who had grown up with him and were now his advisers.

They also captured Lot— Abram’s nephew who lived in Sodom— and carried off everything he owned.

Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked,“ Will you join me in battle to recover Ramoth gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel,“ Why, of course! You and I are as one. My troops are your troops, and my horses are your horses.”

Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him.“ Why should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord?” he asked the king.“ Because of what you have done, the Lord is very angry with you.

Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today? Where will you rest your sheep at noon? For why should I wander like a prostitute among your friends and their flocks?If you don’t know, O most beautiful woman, follow the trail of my flock, and graze your young goats by the shepherds’ tents.

So when the Aramean chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat in his royal robes, they went after him.“ There is the king of Israel!” they shouted. But when Jehoshaphat called out,
