Wicked Heart

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.

It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man.

But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
