Rom 7:15,16 (NIV); I do not understand what I do. For what
I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do
what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good…
Rom 7:18,19 (NIV); …For I have the desire to do what is
good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I
want to do, but the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on
doing.
Rom 5:12 (NIV); …sin entered the world through one man,
and death through sin, and in this way death came to all
people, because all sinned…

Rom 5:8,9 (NIV); But God demonstrates his own love for us
in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since
we have now been justified by his blood, how much more
shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
Rom 5:15,19 (NIV); But the gift is not like the trespass. For
if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much
more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of
the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the
gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin:
The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation,
but the gift followed many trespasses and brought
justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death
reigned through that one man, how much more will those
who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the
gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus
Christ! Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in
condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act
resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as
through the disobedience of the one man the many were
made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man
the many will be made righteous.

Rom 6:2-14 (NIV); We are those who have died to sin; how
can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us
who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his
death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism
into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the
dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new
life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his,
we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection
like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with
him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,
that we should no longer be slaves to sin - because anyone
who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with
Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we
know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot
die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death
he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he
lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin
but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin
reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of
wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who
have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of
yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin
shall no longer be your master…

Joh 3:3 (HCSB); …Unless someone is born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God.
Joh 1:11-13 (TNIV); He came to that which was his own,
but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive
him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God - children born not of natural
descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born
of God.
2 Cor 5:17 (HCSB); …if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things
have come.
