Because you say,‘ I’m rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,’ and you don’t know that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked,I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see.

Romans 2:21-29
you then, who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach,“ You must not steal”— do you steal?You who say,“ You must not commit adultery”— do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob their temples?You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?For, as it is written: The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.For circumcision benefits you if you observe the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.Therefore if an uncircumcised man keeps the law’s requirements, will his uncircumcision not be counted as circumcision?A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who fulfills the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter of the law and circumcision.For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart— by the Spirit, not the letter. That man’s praise is not from men but from God.

Psalms 50:16-21
But God says to the wicked:“ What right do you have to recite My statutes and to take My covenant on your lips?You hate instruction and turn your back on My words.When you see a thief, you make friends with him, and you associate with adulterers.You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue for deceit.You sit, maligning your brother, slandering your mother’s son.You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But I will rebuke you and lay out the case before you.

He was unable to see for three days and did not eat or drink.There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision,“ Ananias!”“ Here I am, Lord!” he said.“ Get up and go to the street called Straight,” the Lord said to him,“ to the house of Judas, and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, since he is praying there.In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing his hands on him so he can regain his sight.”“ Lord,” Ananias answered,“ I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.And he has authority here from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”But the Lord said to him,“ Go! For this man is My chosen instrument to take My name to Gentiles, kings, and the Israelites.I will show him how much he must suffer for My name!”So Ananias left and entered the house. Then he placed his hands on him and said,“ Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road you were traveling, has sent me so that you can regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”At once something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized.And after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul was with the disciples in Damascus for some days.Immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues:“ He is the Son of God.”
