And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.

Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.

O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.

So put away trouble from your heart, and sorrow from your flesh; because the early years and the best years are to no purpose.

And the dust goes back to the earth as it was, and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.

And the dust goes back to the earth as it was, and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.

And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.

To have let men from strange lands, without circumcision of heart or flesh, come into my holy place, making my house unclean; and to have made the offering of my food, even the fat and the blood; and in addition to all your disgusting ways, you have let my agreement be broken.

For this cause the Lord has said, No man from a strange land, without circumcision of heart and flesh, of all those who are living among the children of Israel, is to come into my holy place.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:

And Paul, looking fixedly at the Sanhedrin, said, My brothers, my life has been upright before God till this day.

And in this, I do my best at all times to have no reason for shame before God or men.

Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh. How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death? read more. I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind. What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;

For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

Give yourselves to prayer at all times, keeping watch with praise;

Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought.

But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,

How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.
