12 But I fast twice a week, and I give tithes on everything I earn.
13 But the publican stood afar off, and he would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me, I am a sinner.
Romans 7:9-24
9 Formerly I lived without the law: but when the commandment came, sin came to life and I died.
10 And the commandment which was ordained to life I found to be for death.
11 For sin, finding occasion by the commandment, misled me and by it killed me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Has then that which is good, become death to me? Far be it. But sin that is exposed as sin and works death in me for that which is good, will be the more condemned by means of the law.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am of the flesh enslaved to sin.
15 For I do not know what I do: and I do not do the thing which I want, but I do the thing which I hate. That is exactly what I do.
16 So then if I do that which I do not wish to do, I can testify concerning the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is not I who do it, but sin which dominates me.
18 Yet I know that it does not fully dominate me, (that is in my flesh) but as far as good is concerned, the choice is easy for me to make, but to do it, that is difficult.
19 For it is not the good that I wish to do, that I do: but it is the evil that I do not wish to do, that I do.
20 Now if I do that which I do not wish, then it is not I who do it, but the sin which dominates me.
21 I find therefore, that the law agrees with my conscience when I wish to do good, but evil is always near, distracting me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and it makes me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this mortal body?
Revelation 3:17-18
17 Because you say, I am rich and my wealth has increased, and I need nothing; and you do not know that you are miserable, and a wanderer, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I advise you to buy of me gold refined in the fire, that you may become rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, so that the shame of your nakedness does not appear; and anoint your eyes with salve that you may see.
