As long as our mental and physical temperament is subject to the bondage of Satan, the functional being, which is formed in giving and receiving, must be called an evil temperament. The evil temperament incessantly drives man to do evil. Our original temperament and our conscience prompt us to reject the evil temperament. They lead us, with desperate effort, to deny evil desire and to hold on to good, tearing apart the shackles of Satan and turning to God.
