New Testament

Romans 7:21-25 God's Word Translation (GW)

21. So I’ve discovered this truth: Evil is present with me even when I want to do what God’s standards say is good.

22. I take pleasure in God’s standards in my inner being.

23. However, I see a different standard ⌊at work⌋ throughout my body. It is at war with the standards my mind sets and tries to take me captive to sin’s standards which still exist throughout my body.

24. What a miserable person I am! Who will rescue me from my dying body?

25. 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.
