13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 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. Romans 7:13-18
A little verse to go with the daily Bible reading today:
Sold Under Sin
Sin is a Deceiver
That with Guile brought Expulsion
The Cursed ground bearing Thistles
Sold under Sin
Sin is a Stealer
That robs Joy from Believers
The Delight is soon gone
Sold under Sin
Sin has its Season
That requires a Harvest
The vine long since Withered
Sold under Sin
Sin finds its Friends
In notorious Places
Sanctuaries for Sinners
Sold under Sin
Sin is a Reproach
To any great Nation
The Accuser of Leaders
Sold under Sin
Sin finds it Strength
In the Law and Commandments
Exceedingly Sinful
Sold Under Sin
Sin has its Price
That requires a Payment
The Sinless for the Sinner
Sold under Sin
Sin is most Grievous
To the Soul of a Nation
That has forsaken its Footings
Sold under Sin
Sin is Defeated
In the Person of Jesus
Salvation for us Sinners
Sold under Sin
