1 Thessalonians 5:22

Abstain from all appearance of evil - Sin not, and avoid even the appearance of it. Do not drive your morality so near the bounds of evil as to lead even weak persons to believe that ye actually touch, taste, or handle it. Let not the form of it, , appear with or among you, much less the substance. Ye are called to holiness; be ye holy, for God is holy.
