Romans 7:18

⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁵Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

¹⁷For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

²⁵I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. ¹¹⁶Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope. ¹¹⁷Hold me up, and I will be safe, and will have respect for your statutes continually.

⁴Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

¹⁴What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? ¹⁵Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight; ¹⁶how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

²⁴Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

¹³For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

⁵The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.
