  • Rom 7:10-25 : 10 And{G2532} the commandment{G1785}, which{G3588} was ordained to{G1519} life{G2222}, I{G3427} found{G2147}{(G5681)}{G3778} to be unto{G1519} death{G2288}. 11 For{G1063} sin{G266}, taking{G2983}{(G5631)} occasion{G874} by{G1223} the commandment{G1785}, deceived{G1818}{(G5656)} me{G3165}, and{G2532} by{G1223} it{G846} slew{G615}{(G5656)} me. 12 Wherefore{G5620}{G3303} the law{G3551} is holy{G40}, and{G2532} the commandment{G1785} holy{G40}, and{G2532} just{G1342}, and{G2532} good{G18}. 13 Was then{G3767} that which is good{G18} made{G1096}{(G5754)} death{G2288} unto me{G1698}? God forbid{G3361}{G1096}{(G5636)}. But{G235} sin{G266}, that{G2443} it might appear{G5316}{(G5652)} sin{G266}, working{G2716}{(G5740)} death{G2288} in me{G3427} by{G1223} that which is good{G18}; that{G2443} sin{G266} by{G1223} the commandment{G1785} might become{G1096}{(G5638)} exceeding{G2596}{G5236} sinful{G268}. 14 For{G1063} we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} the law{G3551} is{G2076}{(G5748)} spiritual{G4152}: but{G1161} I{G1473} am{G1510}{(G5748)} carnal{G4559}, sold{G4097}{(G5772)} under{G5259} sin{G266}. 15 For{G1063} that which{G3739} I do{G2716}{(G5736)} I allow{G1097}{(G5719)} not{G3756}: for{G1063} what{G3739} I would{G2309}{(G5719)}, that{G5124} do I{G4238}{(G5719)} not{G3756}; but{G235} what{G3739} I hate{G3404}{(G5719)}, that{G5124} do I{G4160}{(G5719)}. 16 If{G1487} then{G1161} I do{G4160}{(G5719)} that{G5124} which{G3739} I would{G2309}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, I consent{G4852}{(G5748)} unto the law{G3551} that{G3754} it is good{G2570}. 17 Now{G3570} then{G1161} it is no more{G3765} I{G1473} that do{G2716}{(G5736)} it{G846}, but{G235} sin{G266} that dwelleth{G3611}{(G5723)} in{G1722} me{G1698}. 18 For{G1063} I know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} in{G1722} me{G1698}(that is{G5123}{(G5748)}, in{G1722} my{G3450} flesh{G4561},) dwelleth{G3611}{(G5719)} no{G3756} good thing{G18}: for{G1063} to will{G2309}{(G5721)} is present{G3873}{(G5736)} with me{G3427}; but{G1161} how to perform{G2716}{(G5738)} that which is good{G2570} I find{G2147}{(G5719)} not{G3756}. 19 For{G1063}{G3739} the good{G18} that I would{G2309}{(G5719)} I do{G4160}{(G5719)} not{G3756}: but{G235} the evil{G2556} which{G3739} I would{G2309}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, that{G5124} I do{G4238}{(G5719)}. 20 Now{G1161} if{G1487}{G3739} I do{G4160}{(G5719)} that{G5124} I{G1473} would{G2309}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, it is no more{G2089}{G3765} I{G1473} that do{G2716}{(G5736)} it{G846}, but{G235} sin{G266} that dwelleth{G3611}{(G5723)} in{G1722} me{G1698}. 21 I find{G2147}{(G5719)} then{G686} a law{G3551}, that{G3754}, when I{G1698} would{G2309}{(G5723)} do{G4160}{(G5721)} good{G2570}, evil{G2556} is present{G3873}{(G5736)} with me{G1698}. 22 For{G1063} I delight{G4913}{(G5736)} in the law{G3551} of God{G2316} after{G2596} the inward{G2080} man{G444}: 23 But{G1161} I see{G991}{(G5719)} another{G2087} law{G3551} in{G1722} my{G3450} members{G3196}, warring against{G497}{(G5740)} the law{G3551} of my{G3450} mind{G3563}, and{G2532} bringing{G163} me{G3165} into captivity{G163}{(G5723)} to the law{G3551} of sin{G266} which{G3588} is{G5607}{(G5752)} in{G1722} my{G3450} members{G3196}. 24 O wretched{G5005} man{G444} that I am{G1473}! who{G5101} shall deliver{G4506}{(G5695)} me{G3165} from{G1537} the body{G4983} of this{G5127} death{G2288}? 25 I thank{G2168}{(G5719)} God{G2316} through{G1223} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} our{G2257} Lord{G2962}. So then{G686}{G3767} with the mind{G3563} I{G1473} myself{G846} serve{G3303}{G1398}{(G5719)} the law{G3551} of God{G2316}; but{G1161} with the flesh{G4561} the law{G3551} of sin{G266}.
  • Isa 6:5 : 5 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} I, Woe{H188} is me! for I am undone{H1820}{(H8738)}; because I am a man{H376} of unclean{H2931} lips{H8193}, and I dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in the midst{H8432} of a people{H5971} of unclean{H2931} lips{H8193}: for mine eyes{H5869} have seen{H7200}{(H8804)} the King{H4428}, the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}.
