Reproving Evil Company
Ephesians 5:6
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God on the children of disobedience.


The Rev. John Elliot was once asked by a pious woman who was vexed with a wicked husband, and bad company frequently infesting her house on his account, what she should do? "Take," said he, "the Holy Bible into your hand when bad company comes in, and that will soon drive them out of the house."

(K. Arvine.)
