Ecclesiastes 8:10 Contradictions to the Law of Retribution10 Not only that, but I have seen the wicked approaching and entering the temple,
and as they left the holy temple, they boasted in the city that they had done so.
This also is an enigma.Two in One: Flesh and Spirit

Redeemed, my spirit is quickened ... a new life imparted to me.

The new nature now dresses my being ... for the first time I am free.

Two in one dearly departed ...  one the old and the other new

One is sinful and the other godly ... one in two what now to do?

Soul life driven by old tradition ... but in the spirit fancy-free

Now a walking contradiction ... only Christ can now help me.

Fundamentally nothing in common ... the old and the new can’t reconcile.

Both are battling at this moment ... to control my being so defiled.

When I sin I am paralyzed ... but when in Christ I glory.

Crucified with Him I live ... the old just shriveled gory.

My soul then still infected ... becomes a servant willing.

It won’t be totally defiled ... as natural is its billing.
