Romans 7

I have died to the law through the body of Christ, and I belong to another. I serve God in the new way of the Spirit.

Apart from the law sin is dead. I know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. I do not understand my own actions for I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. It is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

Nothing good dwells in my flesh. I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. When I want to do right, evil lives close at hand. I delight in the law of God in my inner being.

I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin. Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Thank you, Heavenly Father, that I have been delivered from the flesh through Jesus, the Christ, my Lord and Savior.
