Commentary on Romans, Book VII

Origen of Alexandria · c. 244–246 · PG 14 (Migne) — Rufinus Latin · Original English Translation

Another law in my members§1

1I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?.

Latin · §1

Video aliam legem in membris meis repugnantem legi mentis meae et captivum me ducentem in lege peccati. Infelix ego homo: quis me liberabit de corpore mortis huius?

Thanks through Jesus Christ§2

2Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!. With the mind I serve God’s law; with the flesh, sin’s. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin · §2

Gratia Dei per Iesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Igitur ego ipse mente servio legi Dei, carne autem legi peccati. Gloria Christo. Amen.
