19Porque no hago el bien que quiero; mas el mal que no quiero, éste hago.

21Así que, queriendo yo hacer el bien, hallo esta ley: Que el mal está en mí.
22Porque según el hombre interior, me deleito en la ley de Dios:

21Envidias, homicidios, borracheras, banqueteos, y cosas semejantes á éstas: de las cuales os denuncio, como ya os he anunciado, que los que hacen tales cosas no heredarán el reino de Dios.

(Gá. 5:17‑24)
 Having thus acquired knowledge of himself, he does not seek to be better in the flesh, but deliverance, and he has it in Christ. Power comes after. (Romans 7 by J.N. Darby)
 Deliverance is accomplished by our not being alive in the flesh at all: we have died away from it, and from under the law, which held us in bondage and condemnation, and we are married to another, Christ raised from the dead; and as soon as the distressed soul has said, “Who shall deliver me?” the answer is ready, “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 7 by J.N. Darby)
 Remark here that deliverance is only found when there is the full conviction of our incapacity and want of power, as well as of our sins. It is much more difficult to arrive at this conviction of incapacity than at that of having sinned. (Romans 7 by J.N. Darby)
 The work of chapter 7 is always essentially legal, the judgment of what we are, only hence in respect of what is in us, not of what we have done—struggle, not guilt. (Romans 8 by J.N. Darby)
 It is a mistake to think that the flesh is removed from us when we get deliverance from sin. This aspect of deliverance is not from the presence of sin, but from the power of sin. (A Parenthesis: Romans 7:7-25 by B. Anstey)
 The old sin-nature may still beckon to us, but we have power not to yield to it. We can be deaf to its commands, blind to its enticements, and insensible to its power. (A Parenthesis: Romans 7:7-25 by B. Anstey)
