What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
