26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap

This passage in Proverbs 6 talks about adultery, but it really can be applied throughout everywhere, in God's kingdom. What is the cost of your sin? Every sin has a cost. Whether it is to you or to some one else. It has a cost. Next time when you are tempted to sin, just think of this verse. Every sin has a cost!
13 Folly is an unruly woman;
she is simple and knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15 calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way,
16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!”
18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.
Stolen water is sweet, food eaten in secret is delicious. How true is that? I have experienced it first hand. Because my mother disapprove of unhealthy foods, i would crave for them and eat in secret and it is indeed delicious! And never would i have imagined that it is in the bible. Moreover, i see pre-marital sex as something that can be described as in this parable too! So true! everything that is in secret is delicious! Why so? Idk, but it is true. Man just have a desire for things done in secret.
Everything that the bible says is really truth. All we need to do is just to open it and read!
