Genesis 1:28-30
English Standard Version
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, (A)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. (B)You shall have them for food. 30 And (C)to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.

3 When I (A)look at your heavens, the work of your (B)fingers,
the moon and the stars, (C)which you have set in place,
4 (D)what is man that you are (E)mindful of him,
and (F)the son of man that you (G)care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than (H)the heavenly beings[a]
and crowned him with (I)glory and honor.
6 You have given him (J)dominion over the works of your hands;
(K)you have put all things under his feet,

English Standard Version
10 as it is written:
(A)“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.

they use their tongues to deceive.”

Romans 7:14-25
English Standard Version
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, (A)sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand my own actions. For (B)I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with (C)the law, that it is good. 17 So now (D)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells (E)in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 (F)For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, (G)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For (H)I delight in the law of God, (I)in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members (J)another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from (K)this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

1 Corinthians 1:21-31
English Standard Version
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach[a] to save those who believe. 22 For (A)Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ (B)crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (C)the power of God and (D)the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For consider your calling, brothers: (E)not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,[b] not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But (F)God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; (G)God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even (H)things that are not, to (I)bring to nothing things that are, 29 so (J)that no human being[c] might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him[d] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us (K)wisdom from God, (L)righteousness and (M)sanctification and (N)redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, (O)“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
