The modern 'evangelical' movement claims that they are in such a position, and thereby place Paul well within the ranks of the 'unsaved' because of his statement here in Rom.7:15-21. These verses have proved a major difficulty for their claims. David, another undoubtedly righteous man,likewise commented upon the constant sinfulness of his very nature: "I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me" (Ps.51:5).
Makundi ya siku hizi ya "Kiinjili" yanadai kwamba wapo katika nafasi hii ya kutotenda dhambi, kwa hivyo wanamweka Paulo vema ndani ya 'wasiookoka’ kwa sababu ya taarifa yake hapa katika Rum. 7: 15 -21. Mistari hii imewaletea shida kubwa kwa madai yao. Daudi, mwingine pasiposhaka mtu mwenye haki, vivyo hivyo alifafanua juu ya mwili wake kabisa mwelekeo wa daima wa dhambi: "Tazama mimi naliumbwa katika hali ya uovu, mama yangu alichukuwa mimba hatiani - dhambini"(Zab. 51:5).
