Sin first is pleasing, then it grows easy, then delightful, then frequent, then habitual, then confirmed; then the man is impenitent, then he is obstinate, then he is resolved never to repent, and then he is ruined.
In today’s wordsSin is first pleasing, then easy, then delightful, then frequent, then habitual, then settled; then the person is unrepentant, then stubborn, then determined never to repent, and then ruined.
