To avoid falling into sin, we must steer clear of not just the sin itself, but also the situations that may lead us to it. Proverbs 5:3, 8 warns us to stay away from temptations, such as the path of the immoral woman. This teaches us the importance of guarding ourselves from circumstances that could bring about temptation, even if those situations aren’t directly sinful. By taking precautions, we can better protect ourselves from wrongdoing.
