1 Corinthians 6:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes,[a] men who engage in illicit sex,[b](A) 10 thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And this is what some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ[c] and in the Spirit of our God.(B)

Proverbs 5:4-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.(A)
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps follow the path to Sheol.
6 She does not keep straight to the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7 And now, my child,[a] listen to me,
and do not depart from the words of my mouth.(B)
8 Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,(C)
9 lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10 and strangers take their fill of your wealth,
and your labors go to the house of an alien,
11 and at the end of your life you groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 and you say, “Oh, how I hated discipline,
and my heart despised reproof!(D)
13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 Now I am at the point of utter ruin
in the public assembly.”

Proverbs 7:22-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 Right away he follows her
and goes like an ox to the slaughter
or bounds like a stag toward the trap[a]
23 until an arrow pierces its entrails.
He is like a bird rushing into a snare,
not knowing that it will cost him his life.(A)
24 And now, my children, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.(B)
25 Do not let your hearts turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths.(C)
26 For many are those she has laid low,
and numerous are her victims.(D)
27 Her house is the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.(E)

Proverbs 6:26-35
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 for a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread,[a]
but the wife of another stalks a man’s precious life.(A)
27 Can fire be carried in the bosom
without burning one’s clothes?
28 Or can one walk on hot coals
without scorching the feet?
29 So is he who sleeps with his neighbor’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.(B)
30 Thieves are not despised who steal only
to satisfy their appetite when they are hungry.
31 Yet if they are caught, they will pay sevenfold;
they will forfeit all the goods of their house.(C)
32 But he who commits adultery has no sense;
he who does it destroys himself.(D)
33 He will get wounds and dishonor,
and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury,
and he will show no restraint when he takes revenge.(E)
35 He will accept no compensation
and will refuse a bribe no matter how great.
