The same words are not the same bondage

This is still mere playing upon words. It means no more than this. If there is sin, pride, and self-will in him, then there is sin, pride, and self-will. And nobody can deny that. In that sense, then, he is proud, or he is self-willed. But he is not proud or self-willed in the same sense that unbelievers are, that is, governed by pride or by self-will. Here is the difference between him and unregenerate people. They obey sin. He does not. Flesh is in them both. But they walk after the flesh. He walks after the Spirit.
