Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
Romans 7:14-24
14
For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15
For that which I do, I know not. For what I would do, that do I not; but what I hate, that I do.
16
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law, that it is good.
17
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing; for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not.
19
For the good that I would do, I do not; but the evil which I would not do, that I do.
20
Now if I do that which I would not do, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21
I find then a law that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22
For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.
23
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24
O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Galatians 1:14-16
14
I profited in the Jews' religion beyond many of my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His grace,
16
to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen, I conferred not immediately with flesh and blood,
Philippians 3:6-8
6
concerning zeal, persecuting the church; as to the righteousness before the law, blameless.
7
But what things were gain to me, those I counted as loss for Christ.
8
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but dung, that I may win Christ
1 Timothy 1:13-15
13
I, who was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;
14
and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love, which are in Christ Jesus.
15
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
