Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. – Thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. |
I am a sinful man, O Lord. – Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair. |
I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. – Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. |
When I would do good, evil is present with me. – Be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. |
I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing. – Ye are complete in him. – Perfect in Christ Jesus. |
Ye are washed, … ye are sanctified, … ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. – That ye should show forth the praises of him who hath calleth you out of darkness into his marvellous light. |
