¹³ These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. ¹⁴ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
–1 Corinthians 2:13-14 (NKJV)–

²⁵ They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. ²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over to SHAMEFUL LUSTS. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for UNNATURAL ones. ²⁷ In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. ²⁸ Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a DEPRAVED MIND, so that they do what ought not to be done.
–Romans 1:25-28 (NIV)–

Blessed is he who has got
His transgressions forgiven
And his sins hidden
Blessed is the man whom the Lord
Do not ascribe misdeeds
And is without deceit in his spirit

Buried it deep inside
But soon a sprout came forth
It kept on growing
I couldn’t hide
When I kept it to myself
Slowly my bones corroded
And my vitality vanished
Like in the summer dry

Too many people living this life
Who can take their guilt away?
Their minds are rotting
And causing endless pain
Soon they are demented and put away

I confessed my sins to You
And did not hide my guilt
I said “I want to confess my
Misdeeds to you”
And he took my sins and guilt

He is my sanctuary

–Extol, “Burial”–

Tonight will not end
I won’t let it
Today I awake, asleep
Tonight I will sleep, alive
I remember when we first met
I first met You
That was the last time I breathed
It’s still going on
I feel You around me
Today was my eternity

–Luti-Kriss, “Last Breath / First”–

If, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
–Romans 5:17 (NIV)–
