2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Allowed sin always masters a man in time. The man may loathe his master, yet he obeys him; he may fear his master, yet still he does his hateful bidding. But there is here an awful warning as to the sure change of the very being of a man under the once invited presence and the permitted occupation of the forces of evil. The man himself changes — imperceptibly at first to himself — others see it. He is often unaware of it himself, till the last stages are reached. It must be so — there must be a change. If you think there is no such thing as standing still in life — in spiritual, in natural life. As the solid tower reels and sways beneath the crashing of the ringing bells, so there is movement even in the most solid, calm-seeming life. (Canon Wilberforce.)
