Romans 7:21-25 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.… What swarms of rabbits the traveller sees on the commons and fields near Leatherhead (in Surrey), and yet a few miles further on at Wooten one scarcely sees a single specimen of that prolific race. The creature is indigenous to both places, but at Leatherhead he is tolerated, and therefore multiplies, while at the other places the gamekeepers diligently shoot down all they see. Sins are natural to all men, but it makes all the difference whether they are fostered or kept under; the carnal mind makes itself a warren for evil, but a gracious Spirit wages constant war with every transgression. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.WEB: I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present. |
