Romans 7:13-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Not That The Law Killed Me. Sin Is To Blame For My Death
13 Therefore did the good thing become death[a] for me? May it never be! On the contrary, it was sin, in order that it might become-visible as sin while producing death in me through the good thing, in order that sin might become extremely[b] sinful through the commandment.
I Agree The Law Is Good, But The Sin In Me Produces Behavior I Hate
14 For[c] we know that the Law is spiritual. But I am made-of-flesh[d], having been sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand[e] what[f] I am producing. For I am not practicing this which I am wanting, but I am doing this which I am hating.
