Also keep me from the sins I want to commit. May they not be my master. Then I will be without blame. I will not be guilty of any great sin against your law.
So don’t let sin rule your body, which is going to die. Don’t obey its evil desires.Don’t give any part of yourself to serve sin. Don’t let any part of yourself be used to do evil. Instead, give yourselves to God. You have been brought from death to life. So give every part of yourself to God to do what is right.Sin will no longer control you like a master. That’s because the law does not rule you. God’s grace has set you free.
But I see another law working in me. It fights against the law of my mind. It makes me a prisoner of the law of sin. That law controls me.What a terrible failure I am! Who will save me from this sin that brings death to my body?
