2 Samuel 12:13

13 And David will say to Nathan, I sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan will say to David, Jehovah also passed over thy sin; thou shalt not die.

Psalms 51:1-19

1 To the overseer: chanting to David; In the coming to him of Nathan the prophet, when he went in to Bathsheba. Compassionate me, O God, according to thy mercy: according to the Multitude of thy compassions wipe away my transgressions. 2 Multiply to wash me from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I shall know my transgression, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against thee, thee alone, did I sin, and I did evil in thine eyes: so that thou wilt be justified in thy speaking, and thou wilt be pure in thy judging. 5 Behold, I was born in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou didst delight in truth in the reins, and in bidden things thou wilt cause me to know wisdom. 7 Thou wilt purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: thou wilt wash me and I shall be white above snow. 8 Thou wilt cause me to hear joy and gladness; the bones thou didst break shall rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sin, and wipe away all mine iniquities. 10 Create for me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit in my midst, 11 Thou wilt not cast me away from thy face, and thou wilt not take thy holy spirit from me. 12 Turn back to me the joy of thy salvation, and thy willing spirit shall uphold me. 13 I will teach those transgressing, thy ways, and those sinning shall turn back to thee. 14 Deliver me from bloods, O God the God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in thy justice. 15 O Jehovah, thou wilt open my lips, and my mouth shall announce thy praise. 16 For thou wilt not delight in sacrifice, and thou wilt not take pleasure in burnt-offering. 17 The sacrifices of God a spirit being broken: a heart being broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do Zion good in thy good will: thou wilt build the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then wilt thou delight in sacrifices of justice, in burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: then they will bring up bullocks upon thine altar.

Romans 7:15-25

15 For what I work I know not: for what I would not, this I do; but what I hate, this I do. 16 And if what I would not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good. 17 And now I no more wish it, but sin dwelling in me. 18 For I know that in me dwells no good, (that is, in my flesh:) for to will lies near me; but to work good I find not. 19 For not what good I would, do I; but the evil I would not, this I do. 20 And if what I would not, this I do, I no more work it, but sin dwelling in me. 21 I find therefore a law to me, wishing to do good, that evil lies near me. 22 For I rejoice in the law of God, according to the man within: 23 And I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and taking me captive to the law of sin being in my members. 24 I an oppressed man: who shall save me from the body of this death? 25 I return thanks to God by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore truly with the mind I serve the law of God; and with the flesh the law of sin.
