Psalm 101:7 He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight. "A man is known by the company he keeps;" yes, and by his company you may know what he is coming to be. We unconsciously fall into the habits of thought and feeling of those with whom we are associated. Our ideas are moulded by our ideals; our conduct by our examples. To choose refining, purifying society is the grandest step up and on, to keep the company of the vicious and the vile is as sure a step toward ruin. The Church is mainly given us to meet this demand of our social nature. (A. T. Pierson, D.D.). Parallel Verses KJV: He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. |
