St Basil the Great, tr. Lowther Clarke, 1925

Chapter 23

That he who is drawn away by sin against his will ought to understand that he is being mastered by some other previous sin, which he serves willingly and is henceforward led under its power even to things which he does not wish. Rom. vii. 14 δέ for γάρ*; σαρκικός for σάρκινος K; 15–17; 18 οὐχ εὑρίσκω for οὐ K; 19–20.
