 Stay away from strong drink. In the end, it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder. That's a sound warning. But I am an old man, and I've had a hard life. There's nothing changing me now. But there is. When anyone comes to Christ, he becomes a new creature, and old things pass away. You're wasting your time on me. God washed his hands of me long ago. That is not true.
