Hey! Forest.... PTL!
The point in the scripture I posted was in response to: "who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" The answer to that question is seen in the scriptures following that statement. I thank God who has delivered me through Jesus Christ. For if we walk after the Spirit we will deny the lusts of the flesh. The mind set upon the Spirit is life and peace where the mind set upon the flesh is death. Now James tells us, "For we all stumble in many ways..." which refers to apostles as well as to us non-apostle types. For myself, sadly, when I am tired; I am not at my best and have learned over the years that its good for me to keep quiet at those times in order to keep my foot out of my mouth.
