I agree with your position and love the way you close with verses 24 and 25. Only with the Holy Spirit can we resist the numerous temptations that come our way, but even with, we will all fall short. Perfection will not be reached until the Lord has completed His work in us. I agree that we can all relate to Paul in that we want to do what is right, but fall short. The freedom to live not under that Law, but in the Spirit and therefor bear fruits of the Spirit rather than fruits of the law might be the most beautiful defining mark of becoming fully human?
