1 Corinthians 10:13 is a very well known verse. It says, “…with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” The way is to flee. Though most of you reading these devotionals are not youth ~ this verse still applies. 

2 Timothy 2:22 says, “Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” In my daily reading I am in 2 Corinthians.

2 Corinthians 6:17 says, “…come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean…” 7:1 Amplified says, “…cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates and defiles the body and spirit…” Contamination permeates. Leprosy, which represents sin, goes systemic. Our cleansing agent is God’s pure word. Hebrews 4:12 says that it pierces in order to discern our thoughts and intentions.
