"Oh, if men could but see the slime of the serpent upon their pleasurable sins, the venom of asps upon their dainty lusts, and the smoke of hell upon their proud and boastful thoughts, surely they would loathe that which they now delight in. If sin connects us with the devil himself, let us flee from it as from a devouring lion. The expression [sin as works of the devil] is a word of detestation: may it enter into our hearts and make sin horrible to us."
Charles Spurgeon preaching on 1 John 3:8 in 1883, quoted by Harry Schaumburg, Undefiled: Redemption from Sexual Sin, Restoration for Broken Relationships, p. 103
