if Paul can say this...

"So I find it to be a law that when I want

to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I

delight in the law of God, in my inner being,

but I see in my members another law wag-

ing war against the law of my mind and mak-

ing me captive to the law of sin that dwells in

my members.

Wretched man that I am!

Who will deliver me from this body of death?

(then our hope is found in this)


Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our
Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God
with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the
law of sin.


There is therefore now no condemnation
for those whoa re in Christ jesus. For
the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in
Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

For God has done what the law, weakened
by the flesh, could not do. By sending His
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for
sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order
that the righteous requirement of the law
might be fulfilled in us, who walk not accord-
ing to the flesh but according to the Spirit."
