5 Mosebog 9:14

Verse 14. It is hopeless to intercede for the hereditary will, for it is absolutely against heaven; it is necessary that its old qualities should be blotted out from the interiors of the mind, and the Lord will make, in the higher perceptions of the soul given from Himself, a new regenerate will far more powerful for good and more enriched with truths than the old depraved will.
