Yet that saying would sometimes come into my mind, HE HATH RECEIVED GIFTS FOR THE REBELLIOUS. Psalm lxviii. The REBELLIOUS, thought I! why surely they are such as once were under subjection to their Prince; even those who after they have sworn subjection to His government, have taken up arms against Him; and this, thought I, is my very condition: I once loved Him, feared Him, served Him; but now I am a rebel; I have sold Him, I have said, LET HIM GO, IF HE WILL; but yet He has gifts for rebels; and then why not for me?英文原著 · 《Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners》
But, when the human race again began to multiply, they forgat God, and ran into worse excess of wickedness, being in subjection to divers sins and ruined in strange delusions, and wandering apart into many branches of error.英文原著 · 《Barlaam and Ioasaph》
In an incredibly short space of time after his first sight of her he was there, seated close beside her rocking chair. There was no back-against-the-wall poses in Dicky's theory of wooing.

"Who is it that is managing this love affair! Or me?" she asked, and as I continued to press her with my instances, fell back upon a deadly expedient: that of imitating the tones of my voice when I called on Catriona by name; with which, indeed, she held me in subjection for some days to follow.英文原著 · 《Catriona》
She dreaded, on his account, the subjection to strangers, and the death-sleep of the soul which is brought on by what she regarded as slavery.英文原著 · 《Chronicles of the Canongate》
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son. This sentence clinches Paul's argument. He says: "With the Holy Spirit in our hearts crying, 'Abba, Father,' there can be no doubt that God has adopted us for His children and that our subjection to the Law has come to an end." We are now the free children of God. We may now say to the Law: "Mister Law, you have lost your throne to Christ. I am free now and a son of God. You cannot curse me any more." Do not permit the Law to lie in your conscience. Your conscience belongs to Christ. Let Christ be in it and not the Law.英文原著 · 《Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians》
