Deuteronomy 5
6 ‘I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [d]slavery.
7 ‘You shall have no other gods besides Me.
16 ‘Honor your father and your mother, just as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well for you on the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21 ‘You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor desire your neighbor’s house, his field, his male slave or his female slave, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.’
32 So you shall be careful to do just as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left. 33 You shall walk [t]entirely in the way which the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and that it may be well for you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.
Romans 7
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.
Psalms 37:30-40
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,And his tongue talks of justice.31 The law of his God is in his heart;None of his steps shall [a]slide.
32 The wicked watches the righteous,And seeks to slay him.33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand,Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the Lord,And keep His way,And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.35 I have seen the wicked in great power,And spreading himself like a native green tree.36 Yet [b]he passed away, and behold, he was no more;Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;For the future of that man is peace.38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;He is their strength in the time of trouble.40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them;He shall deliver them from the wicked,And save them,Because they trust in Him.
Proverbs 21:27
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more when he brings it with wicked intent!
