4 Mosebok 20:17

Verse 17. For in the temptation, the man of the church desires to enjoy the delights of the merely natural life, at the same time that he is willing to avoid its evils, its falsities, and even its appearances of truth from the Word by which it is supported; moreover he is willing to be guided by the leading principles of the Word, to continue in the path of rectitude without being diverted by evils or by errors, and thus to keep himself free from the evils of the world while passing through it.
