One of the most significant quotes ever penned, regarding the battle against sin.
"Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you."
- John Owen, Mortification, 9
Romans 8:13 - For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Colossians 3:5 - Put to death therefore what is earthly in you
1 Corinthians 9:27 - But I discipline my body and keep it under control [Gk: I pummel my body and make it a slave], lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
John 15:2 - Every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
