James 1:14-15,
雅各书 1:14-15，

“Each one is tempted when,
“每个人被试探，

by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
都是因为自己的恶欲，被诱惑和引诱。

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;
然后，欲望怀了胎，就生出罪来；

and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death!”
罪成熟时，就生出死亡！”

Jeremy Taylor very clearly described the progress of sin in a man:
杰里米·泰勒非常清楚地描述了人内心罪恶的进展：

First sin startles him,
首先，罪使他惊恐，

then it becomes pleasing,
然后，它变得令人愉悦，

then it becomes easy,
接着，它变得简单，

then it becomes delightful,
然后，它变得愉快，

then it becomes frequent,
接下来，它变得频繁，

then it becomes habitual,
然后，它变得习惯，

then it becomes a way of life.
最后，它成为一种生活方式。

Then the man is impenitent,
于是这人变得无悔，

then the man feels no guilt,
然后他感到没有愧疚，

then he becomes obstinate,
接着，他变得顽固，

and then he is damned!
最后，他被定罪！

Friends, if you don’t want to come to this,
朋友们，如果你们不想走到这一步，

remember the rule I give you this day:
请记住我今天告诉你们的原则：

Resolve at once to break off every known sin, however small!
立刻决心断绝每一个你已知的罪，哪怕很小！

“Lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin!”
“免得你们中间有人被罪的迷惑所硬化！”
