A. Man is not forced to sin. For it is implied that if man yield not,1 the tempter can have no power over him. He that is led goeth along with him that leadeth him.a Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lusts and is enticed. This phrase (own lusts) implieth a voluntary yielding. On this ground are the exhortations in Scripture made to men tob resist the devil, and toc give no place to him. Whereby is implied that if we stand against him,5 he cannot prevail against us. Many like exhortations are given to withstand, and not to yield unto other tempters, as the world and the flesh.
