Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 12. The persuasions of falsity arising from self-love and other unbridled passions also occupied the will part of the mind originally, but were succeeded by the natural good proceeding from external motives when it had destroyed those evils and taken their place in the mind, as spiritual influences from heaven are finally enabled to drive out evils from the interiors of the soul, in which the Lord has ordained they should have dominion, if the regenerating soul will open the mind to receive them.
