“The law of
sin ‘dwelleth’ in us; – that is, it is years as a depraved principle, unto our
minds in darkness and vanity, unto our affections in sensuality, unto our wills
in a loathing of an aversion from that which is good; and by some, more, or all
of these, is continually putting itself upon us, in inclinations, motions, or
suggestions to evil, when we would be most gladly quit of it.”– John Owen, The Nature and Power…of…Indwelling Sin…,
in The Works of John Owen, Volume 6:
Temptation and Sin, 167.
