13 "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"--and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
3 And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity;
4 that each one of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,
5 not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God;
7 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
8 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
9 Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which thou hast broken rejoice.
10 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
11 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
12 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
1 A Psalm of David. A Maskil.
2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
3 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
4 When I declared not my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.
5 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. [Selah]
6 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"; then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. [Selah]
2 Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
3 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!
4 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
