Quarantines Against Sin

2 Timothy 2:22 NASB95

22 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

1 Tim

1 Corinthians 6:18 NASB95

18 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

1 Cor

James 4:7 NASB95

7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

FLEE

RESIST

SUBMIT

The above directive can happen when we quarantine ourselves from SIN.

Social Distancing

Physical apart - 6 feet.

No contact.

Where a mask.

I coughing, sneezing or talking spreads diseases then what about sexual immorality.

Social distancing reminds me of abstinence as a most effective way of contracting STDs.

If droplets are treated as armed with viruses then how much more when two people exchange bodily fluids through multiple partners.

I believer social distancing has affected the prostitution market.

Quarantining from Sin

stay away where it is promoted and distributed

purify yourself during isolation

As the person being sick - you are making a step to spiritual purity due to the fact that you have taken a stance from influencing or giving it to others.

Free ourselves from causing to sin.

1 Timothy 6:11–12 NASB95

11 But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Tim 6:

FLEE - to stay away or hide in order to stay away. Hide yourself from temptation.

PURSUE - fleeing is emptying yourself of bad behavior or habit and replacing it with God’s.

Phil 4:8:18

Philippians 4:8–18 NASB95

8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. 13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction. 15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; 16 for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

Philippians 4:8–12 NASB95

8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.
