2 Samuel 12:7-13

7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ^a‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul. 8 And I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more. 9 ^bWhy have you despised the word of the Lord, ^cto do what is evil in his sight? ^dYou have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and ^ehave taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11 Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house. And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly, ^fbut I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.’” 13 ^gDavid said to Nathan, ^h“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, ⁱ“The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.

beyond number;
my ^liniquities have overtaken me,

Micah 7:8-9

8 ^pRejoice not over me, O ^qmy enemy;
^rwhen I fall, I shall rise;
^swhen I sit in darkness,
the Lord will be a light to me.
9 ^tI will bear the indignation of the Lord
because I have sinned against him,
until ^uhe pleads my cause
and executes judgment for me.
^vHe will bring me out to the light;
I shall look upon his vindication.

Romans 7:23-25

23 but I see in my members ^wanother law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from ^xthis body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

Galatians 5:17

17 For ^ythe desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, ^zto keep you from doing the things you want to do.
