A fresh and oh so accurate translation

Very often it is the old and the familiar at makes the needed difference our hearts may be yearning for. This was brought home to my heart as I read the following translation of a favorite verse.

I truly delight in God's commands, but it is pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Part of me covertly rebel and just when I least expect it, they take charge. I've tried everything and nothing helps.I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question? The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does.
Romans 7:22-25 MSG
Amen.
