DLife 19, 21 - Freedom, Refraining from Evil, Doing Good

DLife 19, 21

. . . during the time a person is in the world,
he is between evil and good,
and he is kept free to turn either to the one or to the other.
If he turns to evil, he turns away from good.
But if he turns to good, he turns away from evil.

. . . insofar as a person refrains from evils,
so far he is in the Lord’s presence and in the Lord,
and that insofar as he is in the Lord,
so far he does good,
not of himself,
but from the Lord.

This results, then, in the general law,
that insofar as someone refrains from evils,
so far he does good.
