“We are firmly minded to cease from all evil, which we clearly know to be displeasing to God” (Page 33)
“Concerning other sins such as anger, envy, evil lusts, and all other sins of the inner man that are not committed with our bodily members but burn deep in our heart and cling to us as spots to a leopard—these we should surely forsake with a most heartfelt determination. For these sins we should daily humble ourselves, and we must constantly fight against them, crying out with the apostle in all sincerity, ‘O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?’ (Rom. 7:24).” (Page 34)
“Paul assures us that the true Christian faith is knowledge that leads to godliness” (Page 31)
“Yes, some become very angry when told that they are not godly people” (Page 36)
“In the same way, a godly person must be content to be whatever God wants him to be, whether rich, poor, sick, healthy, honored, insulted, rejected, or privileged. He must be willing to be tall or short of stature, strong or weak in faith, free from or full of temptation—all according to what the Lord God considers best.” (Page 40)
