TSK · Proverbs 21:8

And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And [yet] are not washed from their filthiness.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead.

The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
