these evil desires do no harm to our neighbor; and yet they
continue unto the grave; and the strife in us against them
endures unto death; therefore these two Commandments are drawn
together by St。 Paul into one; Romans vii; and are set as a goal
unto which we do not attain; and only in our thoughts reach after
until death。 For no one has ever been so holy that he felt in
himself no evil inclination; especially when occasion and
temptation were offered。 For original sin is born in us by
nature; and may be checked; but not entirely uprooted; except
through the death of the body; which for this reason is
profitable and a thing to be desired。 To this may God help us。
Amen。
