1 Corinthians 10:14

Therefore, my beloved, run (keep far, far away) from (any sort of) idolatry (and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin that enslaves the soul).

Paul sets up a mindset that we should have when it comes to dealing with sin.  Having an action in our minds to run away from sin when it presents itself doesn’t give us time to think about the sin.  We get into trouble when we rationalize the sin before us and think it over before deciding to turn away. We don’t want to let the seed of sin have time to get planted.
