¹⁵For I do things that I do not understand. For I do not do the good that I want to do. But the evil that I hate is what I do. ¹⁶So, when I do what I do not want to do, I am in agreement with the law, that the law is good. ¹⁷But I am then acting not according to the law, but according to the sin which lives within me. ¹⁸For I know that what is good does not live within me, that is, within my flesh. For the willingness to do good lies close to me, but the carrying out of that good, I cannot reach. ¹⁹For I do not do the good that I want to do. But instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do. ²⁰Now if I do what I am not willing to do, it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin which lives within me.

²⁶And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing. ²⁷And he who examines hearts knows what the Spirit seeks, because he asks on behalf of the saints in accordance with God.

¹⁴For sin should not have dominion over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.

²In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame. ³And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded. ⁴May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths. ⁵Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long. ⁶O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past. ⁷Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.

⁶Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. ⁷And so shall the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. ⁸Concerning the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is chaste, whatever is just, whatever is holy, whatever is worthy to be loved, whatever is of good repute, if there is any virtue, if there is any praiseworthy discipline: meditate on these. ⁹All the things that you have learned and accepted and heard and seen in me, do these. And so shall the God of peace be with you.

¹⁶The king is not saved by great power, nor will the giant be saved by his many powers. ¹⁷The horse is false safety; for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers. ¹⁸Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those who hope in his mercy,

²⁸And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.

⁴For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel ⁵and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,

⁷³Your hands have created me and formed me. Give me understanding, and I will learn your commandments. ⁷⁴Those who fear you will see me, and they will rejoice. For I have greatly hoped in your words. ⁷⁵I know, O Lord, that your judgments are fairness. And in your truth, you have humbled me. ⁷⁶Let it be your mercy that consoles me, according to your eloquence to your servant. ⁷⁷Let your compassion draw near to me, and I will live. For your law is my meditation. ⁷⁸Let the arrogant be confounded, for unjustly they have done iniquity to me. But I will be trained in your commandments.

¹⁹You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
