All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!

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?

Behold, I have been vile! What shall I answer You? I have put my hand to my mouth.

I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye has seen You.

And you being dead in trespasses and sins,

in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.

and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked;

I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
