Beguiled

2 Corinthians 11:3 New English Translation (NET Bible)

But I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by his treachery,

 your minds may be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

 

 

 

Beguiled

 

The 1st impression like gentleness, feelings, and emotions

Are seldom understood though to be mostly right

General acceptance as a soothing enduring potion

that only looks for good through unblemished light.

 

At that very moment should not truth be important?

It should not be really crucial that you know everything

Is it not for the roaming when detail on the forehand

brings only often refusal in judging about anything?

 

Is it really good to try to know everything about others?

Would it be a better world if most iniquities were hidden?

Would it be truly be understood and would it really bother

Society as much as we pretend if it was openly forbidden?
