Dutch 2024 (EBV24 een Eigentijdse Bijbelvertaling)
Ik dank GOD, die mij door onze Here Jezus Christus verlost! Nu dan, in mijn geweten ben ik dus wel een dienaar van de Wet van GOD, maar in mijn vlees ben ik toch nog steeds een dienaar van de wet van de zonde.
Wat betekent dit?
In this verse, Paul thanks God through Jesus Christ and explains that while his mind serves the law of God, his flesh still struggles with sin. This reflects the tension between the spiritual and physical aspects of human nature.
