“Our sins are often as dear to us as our children: we love them, hug them, cleave to them, and delight in them. To part with them is as hard as cutting off a right hand, or plucking out a right eye. But it must be done. The parting must come. ‘Though wickedness be sweet in the sinner’s mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; though he spare it, and forsake it not,’ ... (Job 20:12,13)" "...yet it must be given up, if he wishes to be saved. He and sin must quarrel, if he and God are to be friends.”
