Paul grapples with the human condition of struggling with sin despite recognizing the goodness of the law. He reflects on his life before becoming a Christian, acknowledging that while the law is spiritual and good, the true issue lies within human nature, which is enslaved by sin. Paul describes this internal conflict, noting that even when he desires to do what is right, he often ends up doing what he hates, demonstrating the pervasive power of sin within him. Sin is like a parasite that controls his will. He highlights the misery of wanting to obey God's law but feeling powerless against his sinful nature. Paul emphasizes that this struggle persists in all humans, regardless of their knowledge of right and wrong, and underscores the importance of spiritual renewal. He concludes by pointing to Jesus Christ as the answer to overcoming sin's dominance.
