“ The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?

What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong— you want only what will give you pleasure.

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will.That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.

Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them,“ Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?

doesn’t this discrimination show that your judgments are guided by evil motives?

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.

Repent of your wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive your evil thoughts,

“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: At that time evil thoughts will come to your mind, and you will devise a wicked scheme.

O Jerusalem, cleanse your heart that you may be saved. How long will you harbor your evil thoughts?

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in death.

The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but he protects the property of widows.

Then he said to them,“ You like to appear righteous in public, but God knows your hearts. What this world honors is detestable in the sight of God.

How can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone born of a woman be pure?

Their feet run to do evil, and they rush to commit murder. They think only about sinning. Misery and destruction always follow them.

Can any mortal be pure? Can anyone born of a woman be just?Look, God does not even trust the angels. Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight.How much less pure is a corrupt and sinful person with a thirst for wickedness!

But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one!

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.

No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.These wicked people are born sinners; even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.

But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one!

Who can bring purity out of an impure person? No one!

And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself,“ I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.

You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God.You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy— their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.

But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.

The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren’t lying to us but to God!”

“ What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy— full of greed and self indulgence!You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too.“ What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs— beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity.Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Only fools say in their hearts,“ There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.

Only fools say in their hearts,“ There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!
