Be it as far from me, O Lord, that I should do this.
Deceive not yourselves.
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith.
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down.
He was righteous in his own eyes.
I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
I am holier than thou.
Kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in Thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
Make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
