Romans 7:14

I Agree The Law Is Good, But The Sin In Me Produces Behavior I Hate

Footnotes

Romans 7:14 The purpose of v14-25 is to prove that sin is responsible for death, not the Law. Paul uses himself as an example, and scholars debate whether he has in view his experience as a Pharisee or a Christian (each view giving a different sense to ‘Law’ and ‘death’). What Paul says in these verses is true of anyone trying to live under law.
Romans 7:14 That is, carnal, fleshly; or, human, of Adam’s race.
