SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:13–25: Sin prevents us from doing what is right

In this section Paul answered another possible wrong conclusion about the law. In 7:12 Paul said that the law is good. Now he asked if it is right to think that the law brought death. The answer is no. Sin brought death and this shows that sin is very bad. Paul then talked about his own struggle with sinning even though he agrees that the law is good. He felt he was captive to sin. But God can rescue us from that captivity.

For the use of “I” in this section, see the General Comment in the summary of Section 7:7–12.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

The way that Paul struggled to stop sinning

The power of sin

7:20a

And if I do what I do not want,

And if I do what I do not want to do,
Since I do the bad things I would like not to do,

And: The Greek word that the BSB translates as And is often translated as “but.” It often introduces a new thought, but here Paul repeated some of what he said in 7:16–17 but in a slightly different way.

if I do what I do not want: See how you translated this clause in 7:16a.

7:20b

it is no longer I who do it,

then I myself am no longer doing it,
then I am no longer the one doing those bad things,

7:20c

but it is sin living in me that does it.

but it is sin that lives in me doing it.
No, instead, my sinfulness causes me to do those bad things.

7:20b–c

it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it: See how you translated these clauses in 7:17.
