Introduction
One verse after the great escape-from-temptation promise (v. 13), Paul names the right use of that escape: flee. The way of escape is not a debate platform but a running route.
Historical Context
Corinth's idol temples doubled as social and political venues. Paul tells believers not to negotiate participation but to leave the building entirely.

Theological Significance
With some sins, you stand and fight (Eph 6); with idolatry and sexual sin, you flee (1 Cor 6:18, 10:14). Wisdom knows the difference.
Practical Application
Identify your idols. Then design fleeing — not just resisting. Cancel the subscription, close the account, change the route. The escape of v. 13 has feet.
