7:7-25 Well then (see study note on 6:1): Paul has just said some rather negative things about the law, and he now explains how God’s law is good in order to guard against any notion that it is evil in itself.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, it introduces an explanation of what Paul said in the last sentence of the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “In fact,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀγαθόν & κακὸν
good & /the/_evil
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of good and evil, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “good deeds … evil deeds”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὃ θέλω & ἀγαθόν & ὃ οὐ θέλω κακὸν
what ˱I˲_/am/_wanting & good & what not ˱I˲_/am/_wanting /the/_evil
Paul is leaving out some of the words that these clauses would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “the good I want to do … the evil I do not want to do”
