Read Romans 7.14-25. In verses 14-20: The struggle to do good. I am of the flesh; Paul maybe speaking of his own moral struggle or using "I" to express everyone's experience. Sin that dwells within me (vv. 17, 20) suggests as alien presence wreaking havoc in an unwilling host. In verses 21-25: The war within us. In verse 21: a law here means "a rule". In verse 22:The law of God may be the Mosaic law (vv. 14, 16). In verse 23: Elsewhere the opposition is between flesh and Spirit (Gal 5.17). In verse 25: As before, sin and God are enemies (6.22).
