For us, who dare not be wise above what is written, nor boast by other men's lines of what God hath not done for us, we say that indwelling sin lives in us, in some measure and degree, whilst we are in this world. We dare not speak as "though we had already attained, or were already perfect," Phil. 3:12. Our "inward man is to be renewed day by day" whilst we live, 2 Cor. 4:16; and according to the renovations of the new are the breaches and decays of the old.
