Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 12. Moreover, by every victory in temptation the devotion of the celestial man to the Lord is strengthened, and evil remitted produces a state of the celestial things of innocence, which is acknowledged to be from the Lord; but no actual state of conflict with evil, gives any quality to the perfect celestial state, because evil active in the natural man causes temptation.
