Numbers 21:8

Verse 8. And hence there is revelation from the Lord by the Word that the Human is to be made Divine even as to the sensual and corporeal degrees by combats against hereditary tendencies to evil, or against all the hells and by victories over them; and that therefore every one in the church who, in temptation, flees from and contends against the evils of the natural man, has power from the Lord by faith in Him to overcome also, and to enjoy eternal life.
