Proverbs 7:5 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 7:5

That they may keep thee from the strange woman
Nothing has a greater tendency than Christ and his Gospel, and an intimate acquaintance with them, and a retention of them, to keep from all sin, from all fleshly lusts, from the sin of uncleanness; and also from all the errors, heresies, idolatry, superstition, and will worship, of the whore of Rome; a stranger to God and true godliness, to Christ and his truths, the Spirit and his operations; from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
(See Gill on Proverbs 2:16), (See Gill on Proverbs 5:3), and (See Gill on Proverbs 6:24).
