The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. -- MATT.26:41. In the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early. I know that in me, (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. -- The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -- Our sufficiency is of God. -- My grace is sufficient for thee. Isa.26:8,9.Rom.7:18,22,23. -Gal.5:17.Phi.4:13. -II Cor.3:5. -II Cor.12:9. |
