Gewilde Bybelverse vanaf Romans 7

Deel

I thank God for his salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord! So in my mind I am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful self I am a slave to the law of sin.

Yes, I know that nothing good lives in me—I mean nothing good lives in the part of me that is not spiritual. I want to do what is good, but I don’t do it.

I don’t do the good that I want to do. I do the evil that I don’t want to do.

So if I do what I don’t want to do, then I am not really the one doing it. It is the sin living in me that does it.

So I have learned this rule: When I want to do good, evil is there with me. In my mind I am happy with God’s law.

And if I don’t want to do what I do, that means I agree that the law is good.
