The apostle Paul gave a vivid description of his own fight against sin, saying: “I really delight in the law of God according to the man I am within, but I see in my body another law warring against the law of my mind and leading me captive to sin’s law that is in my body. ” ​ — Romans 7: 22, 23.
Apostel Paulus kirjeldas värvikalt oma võitlust patuga, öeldes: „Sisimas on mul Jumala seaduse üle hea meel, aga mu kehas on teine seadus, mis sõdib mu mõistuse seaduse vastu ja viib mind vangi patu seaduse alla, mis on mu kehas. ”
