This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
7:14 Doing what we know is wrong
14 We know that God’s law is spiritual, but I am physical, having been born[fn] into sin. 15 [ref]I don’t know what’s going on because I do what I don’t want to do and I end up doing what I hate. 16 So if I do something that I didn’t want to do, then I’m agreeing with the Law that it’s good, 17 and it’s no longer me that’s doing it, but the sin that’s in me. 18 I’m aware that good isn’t in my physical body because I want to do good but I can’t. 19 I don’t do the good that I want to do, but rather I do the evil that I don’t want to do, 20 so if I’m doing what I don’t want to do, then it’s not me doing it, but it’s the sin in me that does it.
21 As a result, I’ve discovered the principle that when I want to do good, actually there’s evil in me, 22 because I’m happily accepting God’s Law on the inside, 23 but I’m observing another law inside my body parts, fighting against my mind and keeping me imprisoned in the law of sin which is in my body parts. 24 I’m a miserable person. Who will rescue me from this body that’s full of death? 25 Thankfully it’s God through our master Yeshua Messiah. So I end up with my mind wanting to serve God’s Law, but on the other hand, my body wants to serve the law of sin.
7:14 Paul actually talks about ‘being sold into sin’ here which is slavery language.
