Romans 7:21-23 (New International Version) "So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members."
How have you experienced this same struggle in your own life, even as a Christian?
In this passage, Paul equates the law in his members (his body) with the law of sin. 'With the flesh,' Paul says, he served 'the law of sin' (Rom. 7:25). But serving sin and obeying its law means death (see vss. 10, 11, 13). Hence, his body - as it was now functioning in obedience to sin - fittingly could be described as 'the body of this death.'
The law of the mind is God
