Have nothing to do with the acts of darkness. They don’t produce anything good. Show what they are really like.

A person who wants to hurt others tries to get them to sin. That person leads them down a path that isn’t good.

Walk with wise people and become wise. A companion of foolish people suffers harm.

Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord. They don’t follow the advice of evil people. They don’t make a habit of doing what sinners do. They don’t join those who make fun of the Lord and his law.

When you see a thief, you join him. You make friends with those who commit adultery.

Don’t give in to those who are tempting you. Don’t listen to them. Don’t feel sorry for them. Don’t spare them or save them.

A person who talks about others tells secrets. So avoid anyone who talks too much.

She led him astray with her clever words. She charmed him with her smooth talk.All at once he followed her. He was like an ox going to be killed. He was like a deer stepping into a trapuntil an arrow struck its liver. He was like a bird rushing into a trap. Little did he know it would cost him his life!

People like that are not serving Christ our Lord. They are serving only themselves. With smooth talk and with words they don’t mean they fool people who don’t know any better.

After a while, his master’s wife noticed Joseph. She said to him,“ Come to bed with me!”But he refused.“ My master has put me in charge,” he told her.“ Now he doesn’t have to worry about anything in the house. He trusts me to take care of everything he owns.No one in this house is in a higher position than I am. My master hasn’t held anything back from me, except you. You are his wife. So how could I do an evil thing like that? How could I sin against God?”She spoke to Joseph day after day. But he told her he wouldn’t go to bed with her. He didn’t even want to be with her.One day Joseph went into the house to take care of his duties. None of the family servants was inside.Potiphar’s wife grabbed him by his coat.“ Come to bed with me!” she said. But he left his coat in her hand. And he ran out of the house.She saw that he had left his coat in her hand and had run out of the house.

She continued to pester him day after day. She nagged him until he was sick and tired of it.So he told her everything. He said,“ My hair has never been cut. That’s because I’ve been a Nazirite since the day I was born. A Nazirite is set apart to God. If you shave my head, I won’t be strong anymore. I’ll become as weak as any other man.”Delilah realized he had told her everything. So she sent a message to the Philistine rulers. She said,“ Come back one more time. He has told me everything.” So the rulers returned. They brought the silver with them.Delilah got Samson to go to sleep on her lap. Then she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair. That’s how she began to bring Samson under her control. And he wasn’t strong anymore.She called out,“ Samson! The Philistines are attacking you!” He woke up from his sleep. He thought,“ I’ll go out just as I did before. I’ll shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that the Lord had left him.Then the Philistines grabbed him. They poked his eyes out. They took him down to Gaza. They put bronze chains around him. Then they made him grind grain in the prison.
