So don’t let sin rule your body, which is going to die. Don’t obey its evil desires.Don’t give any part of yourself to serve sin. Don’t let any part of yourself be used to do evil. Instead, give yourselves to God. You have been brought from death to life. So give every part of yourself to God to do what is right.

God wants you to be made holy. He wants you to stay away from sexual sins.

All of you should honor marriage. You should keep the marriage bed pure. God will judge the person who commits adultery. He will judge everyone who commits sexual sins.

Dear friends, you are outsiders and those who wander in this world. So I’m asking you not to give in to your sinful desires. They fight against your soul.

So put to death anything that comes from sinful desires. Get rid of sexual sins and impure acts. Don’t let your feelings get out of control. Remove from your life all evil desires. Stop always wanting more and more. You might as well be worshiping statues of gods.

There should not be even a hint of sexual sin among you. Don’t do anything impure. And do not always want more and more. These are not the things God’s holy people should do.

I’m afraid that when I come again my God will put me to shame in front of you. Then I will be sad about many who sinned earlier and have not turned away from it. They have not turned away from uncleanness, sexual sins and wild living. They have done all those things.

Run away from the evil things that young people long for. Try hard to do what is right. Have faith, love and peace. Do these things together with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

Don’t you know that people who do wrong will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who sleep with other men.

Don’t desire to commit sexual sins like people who don’t know God.

A woman who commits adultery has lips that drip honey. What she says is smoother than olive oil.But in the end she is like bitter poison. She cuts like a sword that has two edges.Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to the grave.She doesn’t give any thought to her way of life. Her paths have no direction, but she doesn’t realize it.My sons, listen to me. Don’t turn away from what I say.Stay on a path far away from that evil woman. Don’t even go near the door of her house.If you do, you will lose your honor to other people. You will give your self- respect to someone who is mean.Strangers will use up all your wealth. Your hard work will make someone else rich.At the end of your life you will groan. Your skin and your body will be worn out.You will say,“ How I hated to take advice! How my heart refused to be corrected!I would not obey my teachers. I wouldn’t listen to those who taught me.I was soon in deep trouble. It happened right in front of the whole assembly of God’s people.”Drink water from your own well. Drink running water from your own spring.

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.So she called her servants.“ Look,” she said to them,“ this Hebrew slave has been brought here to make fun of us! He came in here to force me to have sex with him. But I screamed for help.He heard my scream. So he left his coat beside me and ran out of the house.”She kept Joseph’s coat with her until Potiphar came home.Then she told him her story. She said,“ That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to rape me.But I screamed for help. So he left his coat beside me and ran out of the house.”

It keeps you from your neighbor’s wife. It keeps you from the smooth talk of a woman who commits adultery.Don’t hunger in your heart after her beauty. Don’t let her eyes capture you.A prostitute can be bought for only a loaf of bread. But another man’s wife hunts your very life.You can’t shovel fire into your lap without burning your clothes.You can’t walk on hot coals without burning your feet.It’s the same for anyone who has sex with another man’s wife. Anyone who touches her will be punished.People don’t hate a thief who steals to fill his empty stomach.But when he is caught, he must pay seven times as much as he stole. It may even cost him everything he has.A man who commits adultery has no sense. Anyone who does it destroys himself.

“ Let all who are childish come to my house!” She speaks to those who have no sense.She says,“ Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret tastes good!”But they don’t know that dead people are there. They don’t know that her guests are deep in the place of the dead.

They will keep you from a woman who commits adultery. They will keep you from the smooth talk of a sinful wife.I stood at the window of my house. I looked down through it.Among those who were childish I saw a young man who had no sense.He went down the street near that sinful woman’s corner. He walked toward her house.The sun had gone down, and the day was fading. The darkness of night was falling.A woman came out to meet him. She was dressed like a prostitute and had a clever plan.She was wild and pushy. She never stayed at home.Sometimes she’s in the streets. Sometimes she’s at other places. At every corner she waits.She took hold of the young man and kissed him. With a bold face she spoke to him. She said,“ Today I offered what I promised I would. At home I have meat left over from my fellowship offering.So I came out to meet you. I looked for you and have found you!I have covered my bed with colored sheets from Egypt.I’ve perfumed my bed with spices. I used myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning. Let’s enjoy ourselves by sleeping together!My husband isn’t home. He’s gone on a long journey.He took his bag full of money. He won’t be home for several days.”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!My sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.Don’t let your hearts turn to her ways. Don’t step onto her paths.She has brought down a lot of men. She has killed a huge crowd.Her house is a road to the grave. It leads down to the place of the dead.

So God let them go. He allowed them to do what their sinful hearts wanted to. He let them commit sexual sins. They made one another’s bodies impure by what they did.

Wisdom will save you from a woman who commits adultery. It will save you from a sinful woman and her tempting words.She has left the man she married when she was young. She has broken the promise she made in front of God.Surely her house leads down to death. Her paths lead to the spirits of the dead.No one who goes to her comes back or reaches the paths of life.
