Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
So here's the thing, it's not really me doing these things I hate. It's this sin that's basically moved in and set up shop inside me.

📚 Historical Context
The Apostle Paul wrote the letter to the Romans around 57 AD to explain the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles in Rome, emphasizing salvation through faith in Christ. In Chapter 7, he describes the internal struggle with sin under the law, showing how it reveals human weakness but cannot empower victory over sin. Paul uses his own experiences to illustrate that sinful actions stem from indwelling sin rather than one's true self in Christ.
