Therefore the law is holy,

and the commandment

holy, just and good.

Has then what is good

become death to me?

Certainly not!

But sin, that it might

appear sin, was producing

death in me through what

is good, so that sin through

the commandment become

exceedingly sinful.

For we know that the Law is

spiritual, but I am carnal

sold under sin.

For what I am doing I do not

understand.

For what I will to do I do not

but what I hate, that I do.

If then, I do what I will not

to do, I agree with the Law

that it is good.

( Romans 7. 12-16).

Meditate on the following:

1) The Law is God’s standard.

2) Carnal man acts against that

standard.

3) Carnality is contrary to God.

4) The Law is spiritual because

God is Spirit.
