“Temptations
and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.
Hence, is that summary description of the whole work and effect of this law of
sin, Genesis 6:5, ‘every imagination of the thoughts of man's heart is only
evil continually;’” – John Owen, The
Nature and Power…of…Indwelling Sin…, in The Works of John Owen, Volume
6: Temptation and Sin, 169-170.
