Longhorn are you comparing Jesus to Paul? Here is that verse in Romans where Paul states that in his/Pauls flesh dwells no good thing.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I do not find.
And why was Paul unable to perform any good? He said why a few verses before.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Paul was "sold under sin," was Jesus sold under sin like Paul? Heavens forbid such a blasphemous idea. Jesus was perfect body, Spirit and soul or He could not have been the perfect sacrifice.
1Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified(G1344) in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
G1344 to render (that is, show or regard as) just or innocent: - free, justify (-ier), be righteous.
Heb 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Jesus Christ was just - innocent and "without sin." And therefore the only possible hope for mankind was Him as a 'perfect' sin offering.
Heb 7:26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a High Priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
v. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for His own sins and then for those of the people, since He did this once for all when He offered up Himself.
v.28 For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.
Our only hope of reconciliation to God is through Jesus Christ, who was "all the fullness of God" in the flesh.
2Co 5:18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
v. 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
Col 1:19-20 For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.
mercy, peace and love
