"Who shall save me from the body of this death?" St. Paul

Post by Matthew »

What do you think of the verse, "Who will free me from the body of this death?" that St Paul wrote on the struggle between sinful desires and our desire to obey God which are pitted against each other.

It is always important when reading Scriptures to read the quote in context.

I just realized that no reference was given. From where is this quote taken? Thanks.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
