There is no sparing the flesh. Where you have even a small sympathy with it, it will take you over. Where you believe in its rights, it will claim the right to your all. When you trust its power, it will shame you by the failure of its grand claims. It can turn religious.
Sin is merely the child of flesh.
Sin is conceived in flesh before it is born in the light of day. This we cannot see. The flesh of mankind has been crucified. It is possible to live without the help of the flesh. It is possible to be free of its cruel torture.
