Repetition Strengthens
Mark 14:31
But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with you, I will not deny you in any wise. Likewise also said they all.


Every repetition of sin makes sin the stronger; for as the body, the more it is nourished and fed, the stronger it grows, so with sin in the soul; every new act is an addition of strength till it comes to a habit. Pluck up a twig, then, before it grows up into a plant. Dash out the brains of every sin in infancy.

(Dr. Thomas Taylor.)
