*Irony is part of being human. When I read verse 28 I am struck by the irony of poor decisions. Yet are we any different, we may not be meticulously maintaining ceremonial purity while committing murder, but that does not mean we don't make the same ironic errors.
*Romans 7:15-18 teaches us that
** For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
**Paul's non-christian contemporaries knew of this conflict, Ovid, a Roman poet, stated "I see the better things, and I approve them, but I follow the worse." Jewish rabbis had gone so far to state that every person had two different natures and even named them Yetser hatbox and Tetser Hara. <ref>Barclay, William, ed. The Daily Study Bible Series: The Letter to the Romans. Edinburgh, 1969, pg 101.</ref>
*The conflict between our sin nature and God's will are dizzying.
