Epistle
Romans 7.14-8.2
Read in context7:14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
7:15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
7:16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
7:17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
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.
7:19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
7:20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
7:21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
7:22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
7:23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
7:24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
7:25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
