To Avoid Sin, Avoid Occasions
Mark 14:68-72
But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what you say. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.…


He that would avoid sin must carefully avoid occasions, which are the stronger because of our own natural inclination to evil. He that would not be burnt must not touch fire, or go upon the coals. Beware of evil company. Consider thine own weakness, and the power of evil to seduce.

(Dr. Thomas Taylor.)
