Gewilde Bybelverse vanaf Romans 7

Deel

I thank God that our Lord Jesus Christ rescues me! So I am obedient to God’s standards with my mind, but I am obedient to sin’s standards with my corrupt nature.

I know that nothing good lives in me; that is, nothing good lives in my corrupt nature. Although I have the desire to do what is right, I don’t do it.

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

Now, when I do what I don’t want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it. Sin that lives in me is doing it.

So I’ve discovered this truth: Evil is present with me even when I want to do what God’s standards say is good. I take pleasure in God’s standards in my inner being.

I don’t do what I want to do, but I agree that God’s standards are good.
