Romains 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 7:19

For the good that I would, I do not
The apostle here repeats what he had delivered in ( Romans 7:15 Romans 7:16 ) to strengthen and confirm this part of his experience; that though he had a will to that which was good, yet he wanted power, and had none of himself to perform; and therefore often did what he would not, and what he would he did not.

Romains 7:19 In-Context

17 Et maintenant ce n'est plus moi qui le fais, mais c'est le péché qui habite en moi.
18 Car je sais que le bien n'habite point en moi, c'est-à-dire, dans ma chair, parce que j'ai la volonté de faire le bien; mais je ne parviens pas à l'accomplir.
19 Car je ne fais pas le bien que je veux; mais je fais le mal que je ne veux pas faire.
20 Que si je fais ce que je ne veux pas, ce n'est plus moi qui le fais, mais c'est le péché qui habite en moi.
21 Je trouve donc cette loi en moi; c'est que quand je veux faire le bien, le mal est attaché à moi.
