The Law Is Good and Righteous and Holy, but It Kills Me

Some will say that what we read here is paul going on to describe his past life before he was converted to christian. We, on the other hand, believe not only that that view is wrong, but that it's terribly wrong and that it ignores the basic rules of grammar. So what you are going to hear next is paul describing, indeed, his very life right now as a 100 % converted christian. For i know that nothing good dwells in me, that is in my flesh. Now if i do what i do not want, it is no longer i who do it, but sin that dwells within me. Here we go.
