In Christians this repentance continues until death. For through one's entire life, repentance contends with the sin remaining in the flesh. Paul testifies that he wars with the law in his members not by his own powers, but by the gift of the Holy Spirit that follows the forgiveness of sins. This gift daily cleans and sweeps out the remaining sins and works to make a person truly pure and holy.
~BOC, SA, III, III, 40
