Romans 7:17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Romans 7:17. Now then it is no more I that do it,

The real "I," the true "I," the new-born "ego." Thank God for that-to have a will to do good, to have a strong, passionate desire to be holy. "To will is present with me."

Romans 7:17. But sin that dwelleth in me.

I would be earnest in prayer, and my thoughts are distracted. I would love God with all my heart, and something else comes in and steals away a part of it. I would be holy as God is holy, but I find myself falling short of my desires. So the apostle means.
