Romans 7:20. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
The true man - the newborn man - is struggling after that which is right. The real "I ", the immortal "ego", is still pressing forward, like a ship beating up against wind and tide, and striving to reach the harbor where it shall find perfect rest. Oh, what struggles, what contentions, what rightings, there are within the men and women in whom the grace of God is working mightily! Those who have but little grace can take things easily, and swim with the current; but where grace is mighty, sin will fight for the mastery, though it must yield ultimately, for there can never be any true peace until it is subdued.
