Now when man would be faced with a temptation to do wrong, his fallen nature, with all its evil desires and inclinations, would exert an almost overpowering desire to follow and give in to that temptation, while his conscience would be telling him to resist the temptation and to do good. Thus a war would begin within himself whether to give in and sin or to resist and follow God. Which means that man would be forced to use his will to decide which path to follow.
Sasa wakati mwanadamu angekabiliwa na jaribu la kufanya kosa, asili yake iliyoanguka, ikiwa na matamanio yote ya uovu na misukumo, ingechukua karibu tamanio lililozidi kufuata na kujitoa katika jaribu hilo, wakati dhamiri yake ingekuwa inamwambia kupinga jaribu na kutenda jema. Hivyo, vita vingeanza ndani yake mwenyewe ikiwa ni kusalimu amri [kwa jaribu] na kutenda dhambi au kupinga na kumfuata Mungu. Ambayo ina maana kwamba mwanadamu angelazimishwa kutumia utashi wake kuamua njia ipi ya kufuata.
