Root Of Sin Quotes

“Everything at some point has been declared the root of all evil.”

“A man may beat down the bitter fruit from an evil tree until he is weary; while the root abides in strength and vigour, the beating down of the present fruit will not hinder it from bringing forth more.

― John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

“Every sin of commission has its root in a sin of omission”
― Varma Jampana
