   This is referring to the importance of believing that there is a chance of indirectly waging war against God and winning against him by overturning his holiness into evildoings. By hoping that there is a way, they are reinforcing their willpower. But if they despair and believe that there isn’t a way and that they are working toward an impossible goal, that also strengthens their resolve—in other words, it makes them stubborn. This is such an important line not only in their current situation but also for daily life: it applies to us all.
