Pagina 122 - I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.
Pagina 44 - Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.
Pagina 191 - God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
Pagina 125 - Wretched man that I am ! Who will deliver me from this body of death ? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord...
Pagina 115 - For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
Pagina 149 - Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
Pagina 223 - I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30 and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, 31 and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the form of this world is passing away.
