Power of Bad Company
Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.


Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood.

(St. Augustine.)
