Romans 7:14-24
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.I find then the law that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

Ephesians 6:10-19
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace,above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints:on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

Isaiah 63:1-4
Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? Who is this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength?“ It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”Why is your clothing red, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?“ I have trodden the wine press alone. Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
