Romans 7:22–23

²But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

⁸I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

³⁵Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

⁴⁷And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

⁴⁸My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

¹⁰For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

¹²Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

⁹⁷O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

⁹⁸Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

⁹⁹I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹⁰⁰I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

¹⁰¹I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.

¹⁰²I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

¹⁰³How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

¹⁰⁴Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

¹⁶For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

⁹²Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

¹⁶I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

⁸The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

¹⁰More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

¹⁶⁷My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

¹⁷⁴I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delight.

⁴But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

¹¹¹Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

²⁴Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellers.

⁷²The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷¶ Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

¹¹³I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

¹²⁷Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

⁹Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

³⁴Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

²⁹But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

¹FROM whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

¹⁹I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

¹¹Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

²⁵I 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.

⁴Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

¹¹But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

¹²Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

²⁵In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

²⁶And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

²⁰For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

⁷Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

¹³Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

²¹I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

⁵For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

²For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
