27 Then what becomes of our ^dboasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the ^elaw of faith.

21 So I find it to be a ^wlaw that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.

23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.

25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
