Berean Standard Bible

“Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.”

Romans 7:25

Save as image

Study note

Romans 7 describes a person struggling with sin, unable to do the good they want, and it ends with the cry of who will deliver me from this body of death. Interpreters differ on whether Paul speaks of himself before Christ, as a Christian, or in a representative way.
