TSK · Proverbs 21:8

Yahweh 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? What is he who 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 is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes 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 don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.

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

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

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience;

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

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

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.
