18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

5. CONTROL BY THE FLESH: When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your life will produce these evil results: serial immorality, inpure thoughts, Idolatry, outburst of angers, selfish ambition, envy etc Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Timothy 5:6, Proverbs 21:17, 1 Timothy 6:10.

6. LIVING A HYPOCRITICAL LIFE: When a Christian begins live a double life – he flows with sinners while pretending a form of godliness among believers Ma15:7-9, Mark 7:6-10.
