Bible Question: What does "stand in the path of sinners" mean? |
Bible Answer: this does not mean that the happy man isolates himself completely from the wicked instead he witnesses to them of sin, righteousness, and judgment and seeks to introduce them to Christ the one of lasting pleasure. the happy man is a real friend to the ungodly but he is not a partner with them. |
