In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRomans 7:14-25The struggle with sin
About Romans 7As a wife is freed from the law of her husband when he dies, so believers "are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead." The law is not sin, for "I had not known sin, but by the law," and "the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good," but "I am carnal, sold under sin." Paul describes the struggle, "what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I," and cries, "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death," answering, "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord."
