What, then, shall we say that Abraham our father has found, as it respects the flesh?

and the commandment, which was given for life, I found to be for death.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good; for to will is present with me; but to perform that which is good, I find not.

I find, then, this law: That, when I wish to do good, evil is present with me.

You will then say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?

But Isaiah is very bold, and says: I was found by them that sought me not: I was made manifest to them that asked not after me.
