Romans 7:14-24

14For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, asold under sin. 15For I do not understand my own actions. For bI do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with cthe law, that it is good. 17So now dit is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells ein me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 fFor I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want, git is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

21So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22For hI delight in the law of God, iin my inner being, 23but I see in my members janother law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from kthis body of death?

Galatians 1:14-16

14And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely lzealous was I for mthe traditions of my fathers. 15But when he nwho had set me apart obefore I was born,
Greek  set me apart from my mother’s womb
and who qcalled me by his grace,
16was pleased to reveal his Son to
Greek in
me, in order sthat I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;
Greek with flesh and blood

Philippians 3:6-8

6 uas to zeal, va persecutor of the church; was to righteousness under the law,
Greek in the law
blameless.
7But ywhatever gain I had, zI counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8Indeed, I count everything as loss because of aathe surpassing worth of abknowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I achave suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

1 Timothy 1:13-15

13though formerly I was a blasphemer, adpersecutor, and insolent opponent. But aeI received mercy afbecause I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14and agthe grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the ahfaith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15The saying is aitrustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus ajcame into the world to save sinners, akof whom I am the foremost.
