Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.… If a man has a strong besetment, he must treat it as he would a savage dog. He must keep it kenneled and chained, and never suffer it to go beyond its tether, however it may bark or growl. He will have to say to it every now and then, "Down, sir." He will sometimes require the stern resoluteness expressed in John Foster's saying, "This soul shall either conquer this body or shall leave it." Ruthless, bloodless, indomitable will is needed sometimes in order that a man may fight well the battle of his life.
