What though you fall seven times?

J. C. Ryle, Holiness

What though you fall seven times? You shall not be destroyed. Watch against sin, and sin shall not have dominion over you. Resist the devil, and he shall flee from you.

J. C. Ryle, Holiness (1879)


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