You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies, (the evil pleasures of this world) makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasure of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God.

Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth?

I John 3:12-13 (TLB)
