The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factionsand envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said,“ Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

For out of the heart come evil thoughts— murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.

“‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme.

Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts?

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death.

The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but he sets the widow’s boundary stones in place.

He said to them,“ You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.

“ What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous?If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt, who drink up evil like water!

All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.

Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No one!

The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart:“ Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.

As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do— living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.

Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

“ Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.“ Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

The fool says in his heart,“ There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

The fool says in his heart,“ There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
