Man

17‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

18Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.

19How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

20Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.

21Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’

6For affliction doesn’t come out of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

7but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

6Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?

9The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

16So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

17Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

18But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

20These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”

15There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

16If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

14Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

12For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
