Romans 7:23
Douay-Rheims
But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.
Tertullian
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin "-here is the corruption; "and the strength of sin is the law" -that other law, no doubt, which he has described "in his members as warring against the law of his mind," -meaning, of course, the actual power of sinning against his will.
