But every act of transgression, every neglect or rejection of the grace of Christ, is reacting upon yourself; it is hardening the heart, depraving the will, benumbing the understanding, and not only making you less inclined to yield, but less capable of yielding, to the tender pleading of God's Holy Spirit.
Lakini kila tendo la uasi, kila kila kukataa au kupuzia neema ya Kristo, ni kutenda kinyume chako mwenyewe; ni kufanya moyo kuwa mgumu, kutofuata utashi, kudhoofisha ufahamu, na siyo tu kukufanya upungue katika mvuto wa kujitoa, lakini ukiwa huna uwezo wa kujitoa, kwa kusihi kwa upole kwa Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu.
