Deuteronomy第21章:14

Verse 14. And it shall be that if these affections cease to be delightful and helpful to the regenerating soul, then you shall relinquish them; but you shall not alienate them from spiritual uses to the service of self, you shall not turn them to selfish and worldly ends, because you have adjoined them to your spiritual life. [Note (verses 10-14).—Thus, for example, these verses seem to teach that when the regenerating soul examines the depths of the heart to cast out the evils therefrom; many things will be found, such as the desire for wealth, worldly position, and so forth, which are not harmful in themselves, but only become so when they dominate over the spiritual man; and that these may be adopted by the latter, purified from evil and turned to good uses, and thus become helpful to regeneration, but they are not necessary to spiritual life, and may be relinquished; but having adopted them, they must not be deprived of all that is spiritual by being turned exclusively to worldly and selfish ends.]
