10
and I died. And the commandment which was meant to bring life, in my case brought death.

12
So then, the Law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good.
13
But does this mean that what is good caused my death? By no means! It was sin that did it; by using what is good, sin brought death to me, in order that its true nature as sin might be revealed. And so, by means of the commandment sin is shown to be even more terribly sinful.
14
We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a mortal, sold as a slave to sin.

7
And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it.
8
Those who obey their human nature cannot please God.

54
They arrested Jesus and took him away into the house of the High Priest; and Peter followed at a distance.
55
A fire had been lit in the center of the courtyard, and Peter joined those who were sitting around it.
56
When one of the servant women saw him sitting there at the fire, she looked straight at him and said, "This man too was with Jesus!"
57
But Peter denied it, "Woman, I don't even know him!"
58
After a little while a man noticed Peter and said, "You are one of them, too!" But Peter answered, "Man, I am not!"
59
And about an hour later another man insisted strongly, "There isn't any doubt that this man was with Jesus, because he also is a Galilean!"
60
But Peter answered, "Man, I don't know what you are talking about!" At once, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61
The Lord turned around and looked straight at Peter, and Peter remembered that the Lord had said to him, "Before the rooster crows tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me."
Romans 7:15-23
15
I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate.
16
Since what I do is what I don't want to do, this shows that I agree that the Law is right.
17
So I am not really the one who does this thing; rather it is the sin that lives in me.
18
I know that good does not live in me---that is, in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it.
19
I don't do the good I want to do; instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.
20
If I do what I don't want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it; instead, it is the sin that lives in me.
21
So I find that this law is at work: when I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have.
22
My inner being delights in the law of God.
23
But I see a different law at work in my body---a law that fights against the law which my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin which is at work in my body.
Philippians 3:12-16
12
I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself.
13
Of course, my friends, I really do not think that I have already won it; the one thing I do, however, is to forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead.
14
So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above.
15
All of us who are spiritually mature should have this same attitude. But if some of you have a different attitude, God will make this clear to you.
16
However that may be, let us go forward according to the same rules we have followed until now.
James 3:2
All of us often make mistakes. But if a person never makes a mistake in what he says, he is perfect and is also able to control his whole being.
1 John 1:8-10
8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us.
9
But if we confess our sins to God, he will keep his promise and do what is right: he will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.
10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make a liar out of God, and his word is not in us.
