“Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.”
“The essential intention is the real sin. A man who cannot choose ceases to be a man.”
“Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.”
“Not "Forgive us for our sins" but "Smite us for our iniquities" should be the prayer of man to a most just God.”
“There was purification in punishment. Not 'Forgive us our sins,' but 'Smite us for our iniquities' should be the prayer of a man to a most just God.”
“It was no true prayer to beg forgiveness while choosing to sin.”
