Q73. Is not this just as when my father bids me be naught if I will: but if I be naught he will beat me for it?
Yes; or like that saying of Joshua, If it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; serve your sins at your peril.
Scripture Proofs — King James Version

Joshua 24:15
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
