I will be writing an article on the purpose of the law in order to share with Muslims there sinfulness and their need for Christ, since righteousness does not come by obeying God's law to the best of our ability, but by faith in the righteousness of Christ who obeyed the law perfectly. This passage is one of the passages I will be using for that project. This is my second major arc of a passage, so I did my best with whatever help God granted me.

Romans

Romans 7:1-25

NT

esv

Or do you not know, brothers-- for I am speaking to those who know the law-- that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives?

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives,

but if her husband dies

she is released from the law of marriage.

conditional

Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress

if she lives with another man while her husband is alive.

But if her husband dies,

she is free from that law,

and if she marries another man

she is not an adulteress.

ideaexplanation

Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ,

so that you may belong to another,

to him who has been raised from the dead,

in order that we may bear fruit for God.

actionpurpose

For while we were living in the flesh,

our sinful passions, aroused by the ...[written]... law, were at work in our members

to bear fruit for death.

actionresult

temporal

But now we are released from the ...[written]... law,

having died to that ...[written law]... which held us captive,

so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit

and not in the old way of the written code.

negativepositive

comparison

What then shall we say? That the law is sin?

By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law,

I would not have known sin.

For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."

But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment,

produced in me all kinds of covetousness.

progression

For apart from the law, sin lies dead.

ground

I was once alive apart from the law,

but when the commandment came,

sin came alive

and I died.

The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.

For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment,

deceived me and through it killed me.

series

So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

alternative

Did that which is good, then, bring death to me?

By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good,

in order that sin might be shown to be sin,

and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

For we know that the law is spiritual,

but I am of the flesh, sold under sin.

For I do not understand my own actions.

For I do not do what I want,

but I do the very thing I hate.

Now if I do what I do not want,

I agree with the law, that it is good.

So now it is no longer I who do it,

but sin that dwells within me.

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh.

For I have the desire to do what is right,

but not the ability to carry it out.

concessive

For I do not do the good I want,

but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.

Now if I do what I do not want,

it is no longer I who do it,

but sin that dwells within me.

bilateral

questionanswer

So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right,

evil lies close at hand.

For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being,

but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind

and making me captive to the law of sin

that dwells in my members.

Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind,

but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
