NASB | Romans 7:5 For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 7:5 When we were living in the flesh [trapped by sin], the sinful passions, which were awakened by [that which] the Law [identifies as sin], were at work in our body to bear fruit for death [since the willingness to sin led to death and separation from God]. |
Subject: Does the Law still stir up sin? |
Bible Note: Thanks Asis for the great affirming Scriptures!Oh that we would truly believe them! Then we would indeed be in the "but now" reality of our Christian life! The only thing I would question is your last statement - yes, we are a new creation in Christ, but we are not without sin. We may be "saints," but until our redemption is complete, we still possess our sin nature and the capacity to sin; if this wasn't so, Paul would not have written so many admonissions in his letters to believers to avoid sin! Thanks again for the dialog! Blessings, mommapbs |
