Temptation to Be Avoided

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. — Prov 4:14-15

A wicked world and wicked heart
With Satan are combined:
Each acts a too successful part,
In harassing my mind.

But fighting in my Saviour’s strength,
Though mighty are my foes,
I shall a conqueror be at length
O’er all that can oppose.
