Romans 7:14-25
(The Great Bible)
For we knowe, that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne,
15 because I alowe not that whych I do. For what I wold, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.
16 If I do now that whych I wolde not, I consente vnto the lawe that it is good.
17 So then now, it is not I that do it, but synne that dwelleth in me.
18 For I knowe, that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. For, to wyll is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that whych is good.
19 For the good that I wolde, do I not: but the euyll whych I wolde not, that do I.
20 Yf I do that I wolde not, then is it not I that do it, but synne that dwelleth in me.
21 I fynde then by the lawe, that when I wolde do good, euyll is present wyth me.
22 For I delyte in the lawe of God, after the inward man.
23 But I se another lawe in my membres, rebellynge agaynst the lawe of my mynde, and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne, whych is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am: who shall delyuer me from thys body subdued vnto deeth?
25 I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. So then, wyth the mynde I serue the lawe of God, but wyth the flesshe the lawe of synne.

translation:

For we know, that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal sold under sin, because I allow not that which I do. For what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that I do. If I do now that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. So then now, it is not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know, that in me (that is to say in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. For, to will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good. For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. If I do that I would not, then is it not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then by the law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God, after the inward man. But I see another law in my members, rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members. O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body subdued unto death? I thank God through Iesus Christ our Lorde So then, with the mind I serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

symmary:

Knowing the law is good does not stop the conflict. Paul describes the painful experience of wanting to do good yet finding himself doing the opposite. Sin living in him sabotages his best intentions, revealing how deep the problem runs.

A principle emerges: whenever Paul wants to do right, evil lies close at hand. He delights in God’s law in his inner being, yet a different law wages war in his body. The wretched tension drives him to cry, “Who will rescue me?” His answer: “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” The struggle is real, but deliverance is certain in Christ.

Historical Setting of Romans
Paul writes from Corinth (c. AD 56–57) to believers in Rome, a mixed congregation of Jewish and non-Jewish followers of Jesus. Nero is emperor, boasting of Rome’s legal order, while Paul argues that true freedom from condemnation comes only through trust in Christ, not through any human legal system.

Practical Takeaways for Today

1. Rules alone cannot change the heart; only union with Christ brings real freedom.
2. Struggle does not negate salvation; it highlights our need to keep relying on the Savior.
3. The Spirit-led life is not lawless but fruitful—love, joy, peace, and the rest.
4. When condemnation shouts, echo Paul’s answer: “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Teaching Points
The Struggle with Sin
Paul vividly describes the internal conflict between the desire to do good and the reality of sin at work within us: For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.

The Role of the Mind and Flesh
Paul highlights the dichotomy between the mind that serves the law of God and the flesh that serves the law of sin: So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

The Need for Deliverance
Paul concludes with a cry for deliverance, acknowledging that only through Jesus Christ can we be set free from this body of death: Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Practical Applications
Acknowledge the Struggle
Recognize that the struggle with sin is a common experience for all believers. It is important to be honest about our weaknesses and seek God’s help.

Depend on Christ
Understand that victory over sin is not achieved through our own efforts but through reliance on Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Renew Your Mind
Focus on renewing your mind with God’s Word, which helps align your desires with His will and strengthens you against the temptations of the flesh.

Seek Accountability
Engage in fellowship with other believers who can provide support, encouragement, and accountability in your spiritual journey.
