Romans 7

Paul explains that believers are released from the law through Christ's death, likening it to a widow freed from her husband, yet affirms the law is holy, righteous, and good, as it reveals sin—such as covetousness—but sin uses the commandment to deceive and bring death.[1][2] He describes the inner conflict: delighting in God's law in the inner being while another law in the members wages war, leading to doing what he hates, culminating in 'O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this body of death?' with thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.[1][2]
