First verses
- Romans 7:17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
- Romans 7:18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
- Romans 7:20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
- Romans 8:9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

- 1 Corinthians 7:13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
