Commentary on Proverbs 7:8
The path to sin is described as passing 'near her corner' and taking 'the way to her house.' Sin rarely happens instantly; it begins with proximity and small compromises. The Reformed understanding of progressive sanctification recognizes that we must avoid the path to sin, not just the act itself. Joseph fled from Potiphar's wife (Genesis 39:12), exemplifying this wisdom. This verse teaches that victory over temptation often means avoiding situations where we're vulnerable, not trusting our strength when already near danger.
