For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the Spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the Christian religion.

Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world; therefore it is always to be mortified.

No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter who does not in some measure behold it here by faith.

It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.

Steadfastness in believing doth not exclude all temptations from without. When we say a tree is firmly rooted, we do not say the wind never blows upon it.

There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.

The good Lord send out a spirit of mortification to cure our distempers, or we are in a sad condition!
