Romans 7:24–25

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Understanding this passage

Paul admits wretchedness and then thanks God for rescue. Unworthiness is not denied; it is answered by a Deliverer.

Why this verse helps

The cry 'I am wretched' is in the Bible. So is the next line: God delivers you through Jesus.

A prayer for you

Jesus, I feel wretched and unworthy. Thank You that You deliver me. Amen.
