BLE-pō de HE-te-ron NO-mon en tois ME-le-sin mou an-ti-stra-teu-O-me-non tō NO-mō tou no-OS mou KAI aikh-ma-lō-TI-zo-DA me en tō NO-mō tês ha-mar-TI-as tō ON-ti en tois ME-le-sin mou
Exegesis
The clause en tō nomō tēs hamartias {ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τῆς ἁμαρτίας | en tôi nó-mō tês ha-mar-tí-as} identifies sin’s dominion, and the final participle phrase tō onti en tois melesin mou {τῷ ὄντι ἐν τοῖς μέλεσίν μου | tôi ón-ti en toîs mé-le-sin mou} emphasizes the indwelling reality of sin. English renders these participles as active verbal phrases to preserve the vivid imagery of internal conflict.
In context — Romans 7:23
But I perceive another law within my members , waging war against the law of my mind and holding me in bondage to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
