¹⁸ For I know that nothing good dwells ^(A)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.

²⁴ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from ^(A)this body of death?

By Grace Through Faith

2 ^(A)And you were ^(B)dead in the trespasses and sins ^2 (C)in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following ^(D)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in ^(E)the sons of disobedience—

³ Now ^(A)Joshua was standing before the angel, ^(B)clothed with filthy garments.

^17 (A)For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, ^(B)blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel you ^(C)to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and ^(D)white garments so that you may clothe yourself and ^(E)the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, ^(F)so that you may see.

³ For ^(A)we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.
