Flee also youthful lusts:— "Flee from all occasions of exciting or gratifying the passions of youth; whether, on the one hand, the love of sensual pleasure; or, on the other, rashness, contention, pride, and vainglory; to which young persons are peculiarlyobnoxious." These are youthful passions,of the imminent danger of which, some heady young men, who may value themselves for their freedom from other scandals, seem to think but little; yet it is plain from the opposition between this and the latter part of theverse, that they were particularly in St. Paul's mind, when he gave this caution.
