I was now required by this inward and spiritual law (the law of the
spirit of life in Christ Jesus) to put away the evil of my doings,
and to cease to do evil; and what in particular the evil was which I

This evil of my doings I was required to put away and cease from;
and judgment lay upon me till I did so. Wherefore, in obedience to
