OET (OET-LV) Miserable I am person.

OET (OET-RV) I’m a miserable person. Who will rescue me from this body that’s full of death?

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

7:24a

What a wretched man I am!

What a wretched man I am!: The Greek is literally “I (a) miserable/wretched man,” with the word “miserable/wretched” first to emphasize it. Here Paul considered himself very unhappy and distressed about the terrible situation he was in (wanting to do right but always sinning). Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I am such a miserable man!

A man of unhappiness/distress, that is me.

7:24b

Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Who will rescue me from this body of death?: Here the word rescue means “deliver.” This question is a rhetorical question. Paul wanted his readers to think about the answer before he told them the answer in 7:25a. Translate this clause in that meaning. Here are some ways:

this body of death: 7:23 says that the law of sin dwelt in the parts of Paul’s body. 6:23 says that the wages of sin is death. So in that way Paul here referred to his body as connected to death. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

this body that is subject to death (NIV11)

this body that brings me death

Also see the ways this phrase was translated in the previous note.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ταλαίπωρος ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος!

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ταλαίπωρος ἐγώ ἄνθρωπος Τίς μέ ῥύσεται ἐκ τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θανάτου τούτου)

This sentence is an exclamation that communicates deep despair. Use an exclamation that is natural in your language for communicating this. Alternate translation: [O, how miserable I am!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς με ῥύσεται ἐκ τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θανάτου τούτου?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ταλαίπωρος ἐγώ ἄνθρωπος Τίς μέ ῥύσεται ἐκ τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θανάτου τούτου)

Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form here to emphasize his despair. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Surely no one will rescue me from the body of this death!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θανάτου τούτου

the body ¬the ˱of˲_death this

Paul is using the possessive form to describe how the body relates to this death. This phrase could refer to: (1) the body that results in this death. Alternate translation: [the body that causes this death] (2) the body that is characterized by this death. Alternate translation: [this mortal body]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῦ θανάτου τούτου

the ¬the ˱of˲_death this

Here, this death could refer to: (1) physical death. Alternate translation: [that dies] (2) spiritual death. Alternate translation: [of this spiritual death]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:24 this life that is dominated by sin and death (literally this body of death): Sin is so invasive that it affects the whole person, particularly our interactions in the physical world.
