“For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.” 2 Corinthians 4:11 . “If man puts to death his human lusts, and by the Spirit puts to death the works of the body, he would perpetually carry in his body “the dying of the Lord Jesus” until he reaches a stage like that of an infant who has no feelings of sensual pleasures, and lacks the motives practiced by grown-ups.
