Fleeing is an Active Escape
Commentators emphasize that "flee" is an urgent, active command. It is not about testing how close you can get to temptation without falling, but about getting as far away from idolatrous practices as possible. This active avoidance is the "way of escape" God provides (v. 13), which requires our participation.
