Job 1:6-12 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.… If I say to a person, "I will not receive you into my house when you come dressed in such a coat"; and I open the door to him when he has on another suit which is more respectable, it is evident that my objection was not to the person, but to his clothes. If a man will not cheat when the transaction is open to the world, but will do so in a more secret way, or in a kind of adulteration which is winked at in the trade, the man does not hate cheating, he only hates that kind of it which is sure to be found out; he likes the thing itself very well. Some sinners, they say, hate sin. Not at all, sin in its essence is pleasing enough; it is only the glaring shape of it which they dislike. ( C. H. Spurgeon.)
