Be wary of temptations which become available because of one's own ranking or position, or one's relationship to someone in a higher position. Often the only way to combat such temptations, friend, is to snip them in the bud before they can flower. The first instant such temptations present themselves is the time to speak out and stand up for what is right. On the other hand, there are times when the meeting of the weak and strong are not occasions of temptation, but opportunities for truly positive and constructive relationships. The difference between temptation and opportunity lies in the motives of a sincere heart.
