Just as children cover a trap with soil, this is how the devil covers the sins
with worldly pleasures and delights. You should learn his trickery well and
search with precision.
Thus, if you should come across anything which render profit to you,
do not only look at it. Instead, search with great detail, just in case
death and sin are hiding inside it.
If you then see that they are found there, you should definitely
avoid and refuse this profit.
If you find yourself in amusement and pleasure, do not only see
the pleasure, but be careful in case something illegal is hiding
under its depths.
Devil and Magic, by Hiermonk Benedict of Mount Athos
