Amplified Version
If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at your door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.
The Bible says if you do well, you will be accepted. However if you do not do well, sin crouches at your door. It says that sin desires you ... but you must master it. The definition for crouch means to bend low with the limbs pulled up close together, esp (of an animal) in readiness to pounce. Understand sin is in a position of preparedness. It is prepared to overtake you. The word goes on to say that it has a desire for you. When you desire something ... you want it. Whether it wants you or not ... you want it. That how sin is. It wants you. You are the focus of sins desire but God's word says that you must MASTER it. One definition of the word master means to overcome, control, overpower, manage, and to dominate.
Understand today that you have the power within you to overpower and dominate sin. It is sins desire to have you and it is in a crouching position in hopes to overtake you ... but God has given you the power to master it.
