Parallel Verses
New International Version  it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

New Living Translation
So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

English Standard Version
So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

Berean Study Bible
In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

Berean Literal Bible
And in that case I am no longer doing it, but the sin dwelling in me.


You know, Ray did say referring to Christendom that they really don't believe scripture . Today my eyes are open to Gods truths . Like Paul I too believe that the laws of God are good and holy but even so I do still sin but now I know its no longer me who is sinning but sin that dwells within me.

I believe God and if God says through Paul that its no longer I , then its really not me , I choose to believe God.

Now, there is no condemnation to we who are in Christ.

God bless.

The sin in you makes it happen (effecting it, work out, working it out, work it) but you commit the sins making you a sinner in need of repentance.

(CLV)  Yet now it is no longer I who am effecting it, but Sin making its home in me.

(Diaglott-NT)  Now but no longer I work out it, but the dwelling in me sin.

(Rotherham)  Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me:

(YLT)  and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

Hi Dennis,

I feel as if I have to nature's , the one in which came at birth and a spiritual nature.
The reason I say this is because I agree with the laws of our God, His laws are good and want to obey them.

But like Paul has said , what he wanted to do was not what he actually did but rather the opposite, so if we do the very thing we don't want to do then its no longer us doing it but the nature we were born with that is doing it.

How else can we be found blameless at His return ? Now I see how the children of God do not sin even though they do, this may sound like a contradiction but Gods children really don't sin but rather sin itself which is just working itself out, shame on sin but Gods children are justified.

God bless.

Did Paul want to minister to the churches, or persecute them?  Build them up, or tear them down? 

How can it then be that he did the OPPOSITE of what he wanted to do?  Nonsense.

Hi Dave,

Nonsense you say ? Not according to Paul , your argument is not with me but with the words of Paul the apostle.

God bless.
