In the first half of the chapter, the Law revealed and exposed the exceeding sinfulness of sin; here it reveals the helplessness of the sinner to overcome sin by determination or self-effort. The result is an inward conflict that culminates in a desperate cry for deliverance. That cry finds its answer not in the Law but in the Lord Jesus Christ, preparing the way for chapter 8, where the Holy Spirit provides the power for the holy living that the Law itself could never produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/truthrightlydivided.ca\/wp2\/romans-714-25\/#Outline_of_Romans_7_14-25\" >Outline of Romans 7:14-25<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/truthrightlydivided.ca\/wp2\/romans-714-25\/#Themes_to_think_about\" >Themes to think about<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/truthrightlydivided.ca\/wp2\/romans-714-25\/#Questions_for_discussion\" >Questions for discussion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outline_of_Romans_7_14-25\"><\/span>Outline of Romans 7:14-25<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 7:14-17 &#8211; A conflicted person &#8211; <em>\u201cwhat I am doing, I do not understand\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 7:18-20 &#8211; A captive power &#8211; <em>\u201chow to perform what is good I do not find\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 7:21-23 &#8211; A competing principle &#8211; <em>\u201cI see another law\u2026warring against the law of my mind\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rm 7:24-25 &#8211; A compelling plea &#8211; <em>\u201cO wretched man that I am!
