The Law and the Knowledge of the Commandment

Paul says that it's not the fall of the law for the commandment itself is holy and good. It's the part of us that needs to be mastered, which begins to rear up and kick in rebellion. While the law is of God, we are sold under sin and find ourselves subject to the flesh. The word being used in many of these conversations in the New Testament comes from a Greek root word, Sarks.
