If we would be holy we must fight

J. C. Ryle, Holiness

He that would understand the nature of true holiness must know that the Christian is 'a man of war.' If we would be holy we must fight.

J. C. Ryle, Holiness (1879)


J. C. Ryle (1816–1900) was the first Anglican Bishop of Liverpool. Holiness is his best-known book.
