romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. - Free Bible Online

romans 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good [is] not.


      18. For, &c.--better, "For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is in my flesh, any good."
      for to will--"desire."
      is present with me; but how to perform that which is good--the supplement "how," in our version, weakens the statement.
      I find not--Here, again, we have the double self of the renewed man; "In me dwelleth no good; but this corrupt self is not my true self; it is but sin dwelling in my real self, as a renewed man."

JFB.
