If You, YAH, should keep remembering iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

And do You open Your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with Yourself?

keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons and the sons' sons to the third and the fourth generation.

Is mortal man more righteous than God? Is a strong man more pure than his Maker?

Truly I know it is so; but how can a man be just before the Mighty God?

If one wished to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.

What is man, that he should be pure? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

How then can man be just before the Mighty God? Or how can one be pure who is born of a woman?

For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin.

Therefore by the deeds of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for through the Law is the full true knowledge of sin.

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believe into Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law no flesh shall be justified.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.
