Psalms 50:18. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
"When thou sawest a thief thou consentedst with him," and some professors do this. If they do not themselves rob, there are some who will employ their clerks to tell lies in writing. They consent in the bad trade of others. They become accomplices, helping to make excuses for others.
"And hast been partaker with adulterers." Can a man profess to be religious, and yet do this? Well, I have known such, and such will creep into the Church of God still - unclean, unchaste men, who nevertheless will come and sit as God’s people sit, and sing as God’s people sing. And, indeed, any one who listens to lascivious talk, or who smiles at an unchaste jest, is himself a partaker with adulterers more or less.
