So put to death the sinful,
earthly things lurking within you.
Have nothing to do with sexual sin,
impurity, lust, and shameful desires.
Don't be greedy for the good things
of this life, for that is idolatry.
I read a story about how Eskimos lure and kill wolves. The article said, “The Eskimo would coat his knife’s blade with animal blood and allows it to freeze, and layer it again with blood and another until the blade is completely concealed by frozen blood. A wolf then follows the source of the scent and discovers it; he licks it, tasting the fresh frozen blood and would lick faster until the keen edge is bare, the wolf licks the blade and does not notice the razor-sharp sting of the naked blade on his own tongue. His greedy thirst being satisfied by his own blood.” Lust is satisfying at start, but if you engage in lust and shameful desires it most certainly will be your end, and just like a lured wolf, you won't even know it.
