Familiarity with Sin

"Sin is a monster of such awful mien,

That to be hated needs but to be seen,

But seen too oft, familiar with face,

We first endure, then pity, then embrace." (Alexander Pope)

"...know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." (James 4:4)

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)
