Proverbs 14:12
New International Version (NIV)
12 There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death.
The "way that appears to be right" may offer many options and require few sacrifices. Easy choices, however, should make us take a second look. Is this solution attractive because it allows me to be lazy? Because it doesn't ask me to change my lifestyle? Because it requires no moral restraints? the right choice often requires hard work and self-sacrifice. Don't be enticed by apparent shortcuts that seem right but end in death.
