But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind(D) and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on(E) toward the goal to win the prize(F) for which God has called(G) me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Following Paul’s Example

The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(A) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(B) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(C) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[a](D) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(E) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(F)

New International Version
Galatians 3:21
New International Version
21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not!(A) For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.(B)
Romans 7:10-25
New International Version
Romans 7:10-25
New International Version
10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(A) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(B) deceived me,(C) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(D)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(E) to bring about my death,(F) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(G) sold(H) as a slave to sin.(I) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(J) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(K) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(L) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a](M) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(N) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(O)
21 So I find this law at work:(P) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(Q) I delight in God’s law;(R) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(S) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(T) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(U) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(V)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(W) but in my sinful nature[b] a slave to the law of sin.(X)

Peter Disowns Jesus(A)
54 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.(B) Peter followed at a distance.(C) 55 And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. 56 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.”
57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said.
58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.”
“Man, I am not!” Peter replied.
59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.”(D)
60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord(E) turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.”(F)
