Simple concerning evil

“For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Romans‬ ‭16:19-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The word simple here in Greek is “akeraios,” unmixed, harmless. We are to keep our focus on the Lord, the good. Many are searching out the evil in the world to gain knowledge and end up in the pit.

“Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness; Proverbs 2:11-13
