For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I

members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this
body of death?

the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was

likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the
flesh,
Philippians 3:9–11 NKJV
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from
the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness
which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of
His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed
to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from
the dead.

not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was
not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he

impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that
He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
2 Thessalonians 3:5 NKJV
5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into
the patience of Christ.
