Romans 7:13-15

13But someone might say, ‘This means that something good brought death to you.’ No! God's Law did not do that! It was sin that brought death to me. Sin used God's good Law to show that I was guilty. Because of that, we can see that sin is really very bad. The commands in God's Law help to show that sin is completely bad.

14We understand that God's Law is spiritual. But I am weak and human. I am like a slave that has sin as my master.

15I do not understand the things that I do. I do not do the good things that I want to do. Instead, I do the things that I hate to do.
