He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
If someone's choosing to live wrong, let them keep choosing that. If someone's living dirty, let them stay dirty. But if someone's doing right, let them keep doing right. And if someone's living holy, let them keep living holy.
At some point, we all get locked into the choices we've been making.
