Deaden . . . your body members that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality,
uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion.

—Col. 3:5.

It is especially important to be on guard when we are confronted by circumstances that could tempt us to compromise Jehovah’s moral standards. For example, it is wise for a couple, right from the start of a courtship, to set clear limits for themselves about such matters as touching, kissing, or being alone together.

(Prov. 22:3)

Morally dangerous situations may also come up when a Christian is away from home on a business trip or when a Christian has to work with someone of the opposite sex.

(Prov. 2:10-12, 16)

We may also find ourselves at greater risk if we are depressed and vulnerable. We may even become so desperate for emotional support that we will accept attention from just about anyone. If that ever happens to you, turn to Jehovah and his people for help.

—Ps. 34:18; Prov. 13:20.
