The two of us


1 Corinthians 3:1 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Immaturity and Self-deception

3 So, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people,

but instead as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

 

 

 

 

Neither I nor self has a right to know

Between the two of us is not much good

My spirit is compressed with these two in charge

Even if that is mostly by far misunderstood

 

Me, self and I ... yes that is some twosome

Integrated one in a perfect camouflage

You think it to be three a reflection of another

Thinks itself to be a separate entourage

 

Where one stops and the other starts impossible to find out

Borders are carved too vaguely in the depth of personality

Not that anyone cares for they have the same problem

So they also survive on satisfied and call it normality
