Paragraph 13.2

This Sanctification is throughout in the whole Man, yet imperfect^a in this Life; there abideth still some Remnants of Corruption in every Part, whence ariseth a^b continual and irreconcilable War; the Flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the Flesh.^c

   ^7:18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. ^7:23 But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
