AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 7:25 Thanks be to God [for my deliverance] through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind serve the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh [my human nature, my worldliness, my sinful capacity--I serve] the law of sin. |
Bible Question:
Hi Tim, Thank you. How do you understand "but with the flesh (sin nature) the law of sin." Is Paul here saying it still exists? Sincerely, Thomas |
Bible Answer: Romans 8:1 KJV There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. American Standard Version (ASV 1901) There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. In Romans 8:1 'The statement ends with "Christ Jesus." The last ten words were evidently copied from v. 4, where they properly express the result of "no condemnation," not its cause.' (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967) ******************** Does the flesh (sin nature) still exist? What does your own experience (reality) suggest? Has your human nature been eradicated? Good News Translation Romans 7:25 Thanks be to God, who does this through our Lord Jesus Christ! This, then, is my condition: on my own I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin. |
