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

7:22

For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.

For: This word introduces an explanation of what Paul had said in 7:21a–c.

in my inner being: This phrase refers to the mindMoo (on TW) and Schreiner (page 377). or more generally to the inner part of a person that includes the thinking and emotions. The BSB adds the word my. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

in the inner man (NASB)

in my inner self (NABRE)

In my mind (NCV)

In my heart/liver/stomach

I delight in God’s law: Here the word delight refers to being happy. Paul was happy with the law of God.

God’s law: This phrase refers to all of God’s commands, written in what is now called the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible). In some languages the plural for law is more natural, since there is more than one law. For example:

the laws of God

You should not translate this phrase as “the laws of Moses.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συνήδομαι Γάρ τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ κατά τόν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον)

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here indicates that what follows in this verse is the reason why the previous verse is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [What I have just said is true because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

συνήδομαι & τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱I˲_˓am˒_joyfully_concurring & ˱in˲_the law ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here Paul speaks of the law of God as if it were a location in which a person could delight. He means that God’s laws cause him to delight. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I delight because of the law of God]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱in˲_the law ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, the law of God refers to the laws that God gave the Jews, which is usually what Paul means when he says the law. See how you translated the similar expression in [2:12](../02/12.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συνήδομαι Γάρ τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ κατά τόν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον)

Here, the inner man refers to a person’s mind. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the inner being] or [the mind]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:22 with all my heart (literally in my inner person): The Greeks used this phrase to denote the spiritual or immortal side of human beings (cp. 2 Cor 4:16; Eph 3:16).
