Had to Be Careful.

An old man who had led a sinful life was dying, and his wife sent for a nearby preacher to pray with him. The preacher spent some time praying and talking, and finally the old man said: “What do you want me to do, parson?” , “Renounce the devil! Renounce the devil!” replied the preacher. “Well, but, parson," protested the dying man, II ain't in position to make any enemies."
