Who perceives his unintentional sins? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 19:13
Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be innocent, and cleansed from blatant rebellion.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 51:1-5
1
[For the choir director. A Davidic psalm, when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had gone to Bathsheba.] Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithful love; according to Your abundant compassion, blot out my rebellion.
2
Wash away my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin.
3
For I am conscious of my rebellion, and my sin is always before me.
4
Against You-- You alone-- I have sinned and done this evil in Your sight. So You are right when You pass sentence; You are blameless when You judge.
5
Indeed, I was guilty [when I] was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 51:10-12
10
God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11
Do not banish me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12
Restore the joy of Your salvation to me, and give me a willing spirit.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 65:3
Iniquities overwhelm me; only You can atone for our rebellions.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:5
If only my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:20
I am continually overcome by longing for Your judgments.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:24
Your decrees are my delight and my counselors.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:25
My life is down in the dust; give me life through Your word.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:32
I pursue the way of Your commands, for You broaden my understanding.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:35
Help me stay on the path of Your commands, for I take pleasure in it.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:40
How I long for Your precepts! Give me life through Your righteousness.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:133
Make my steps steady through Your promise; don't let sin dominate me.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:159
Consider how I love Your precepts; LORD, give me life, according to Your faithful love.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:176
I wander like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your commands.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_21 7:20
There is certainly no righteous man on the earth who does good and never sins.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_23 6:5
Then I said: Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips and live among a people of unclean lips, [and] because my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_40 16:17
And Jesus responded, "Simon son of Jonah, you are blessed because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father in heaven.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_40 16:23
But He turned and told Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you're not thinking about God's concerns, but man's."
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_40 26:41
Stay awake and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_43 3:6
Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 7:18
For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 7:21-25
21
So I discover this principle: when I want to do good, evil is with me.
22
For in my inner self I joyfully agree with God's law.
23
But I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.
24
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 8:5
For those whose lives are according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those whose lives are according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 8:6
For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 8:13
for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_59 4:5
Or do you think it's without reason the Scripture says that the Spirit He has caused to live in us yearns jealously?
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_59 4:6
But He gives greater grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
and these
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_48 3:21
Is the law therefore contrary to God's promises? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly be by the law.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_40 12:30
Anyone who is not with Me is against Me, and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 7:7
What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, You shall not covet.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 7:8
And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 7:10-14
10
and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me.
11
For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
13
Therefore, did what is good cause my death? Absolutely not! On the contrary, sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.
14
For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am made out of flesh, sold into sin's power.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 8:5-8
5
For those whose lives are according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those whose lives are according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.
6
For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.
7
For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God's law, for it is unable to do so.
8
Those whose lives are in the flesh are unable to please God.
so
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 119:4-6
4
You have commanded that Your precepts be diligently kept.
5
If only my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
6
Then I would not be ashamed when I think about all Your commands.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 130:3
LORD, if You considered sins, Lord, who could stand?
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_40 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_42 22:33
"Lord," he told Him, "I'm ready to go with You both to prison and to death!"
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_42 22:46
"Why are you sleeping?" He asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation."
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_42 22:54-61
54
They seized Him, led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest's house. Meanwhile Peter was following at a distance.
55
They lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, and Peter sat among them.
56
When a servant saw him sitting in the firelight, and looked closely at him, she said, "This man was with Him too."
57
But he denied it: "Woman, I don't know Him!"
58
After a little while, someone else saw him and said, "You're one of them too!" "Man, I am not!" Peter said.
59
About an hour later, another kept insisting, "This man was certainly with Him, since he's also a Galilean."
60
But Peter said, "Man, I don't know what you're talking about!" Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61
Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times."
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 7:15-23
15
For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate.
16
And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17
So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me.
18
For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it.
19
For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do.
20
Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me.
21
So I discover this principle: when I want to do good, evil is with me.
22
For in my inner self I joyfully agree with God's law.
23
But I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_50 3:12-16
12
Not that I have already reached [the goal] or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
13
Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead,
14
I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.
15
Therefore, all who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal this to you also.
16
In any case, we should live up to whatever [truth] we have attained.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_59 3:2
for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_62 1:8-10
8
If we say, "We have no sin," we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10
If we say, "We have not sinned," we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
