Romanos 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.

Romanos 7:19 In-Context

17 De manera que ya no obro aquello, sino el pecado que mora en mí.
18 Y yo sé que en mí (es á saber, en mi carne) no mora el bien: porque tengo el querer, mas efectuar el bien no lo alcanzo.
19 Porque no hago el bien que quiero; mas el mal que no quiero, éste hago.
20 Y si hago lo que no quiero, ya no obro yo, sino el mal que mora en mí.
21 Así que, queriendo yo hacer el bien, hallo esta ley: Que el mal está en mí.
