And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day long.

And Jehovah smelled a soothing aroma. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground because of man, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again smite every living thing as I have done.

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 much more abhorrent and corrupt is man, who drinks injustice like water!

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

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual perversions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,

All these evil things come from within and defile a man.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

And you being dead in trespasses and sins,

among whom also we all formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others;

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

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.

that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh in the lusts of men, but in the will of God.

For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin which were through the Law were at work in our members to bear fruit unto death.

I thank God; through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

For what the Law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh; and on account of sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can be.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through His Spirit who dwells in you.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, sexual perversion, uncleanness, licentiousness,

envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I do not wish to do, that I do; moreover, what I hate, that I do.

For the good that I wish to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not wish to do, that I practice.

I thank God; through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

O that my ways were fixed to keep Your Statutes!

I will run the course of Your Commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart.

Behold, I have longed for Your Precepts; revive me in Your righteousness.

Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the Commandments of my God.

Sustain me, and I shall be safe, and I will gaze upon Your Statutes continually.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold, since Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
