1 Kraljevi 20:39

Verse 39. And it is the dictate of the Word, in its power, to the selfish man of the corrupted church, that even from apparent truths, it is seen, that conflict between good and evil and truth and error must take place, during which it happens, from Divine Order, that the natural man is subdued, and must be held in check internally as well as externally; because, if he is not so restrained, either all spiritual life is destroyed, or the acknowledgment of the Lord under the influence of the genuine truth accompanied by repentance must follow.
