"Wherefore, you being now married unto Christ, you must give all that you have of your own unto him; and truly you have nothing of your own but sin, and, therefore, you must give him that."

His explanation of the covenant at Sinai…. Yes.
I would have saved myself a lot of embarrassing conversations had I read this 2 years ago.
