What does the Bible say about being a wretched man?

In Romans 7:24-25, the Apostle Paul describes his experience of deep inner conflict and wretchedness due to sin. He acknowledges the law of God as good, yet identifies that, within himself, there dwells no good thing. This struggle represents the reality of every believer, who, despite being redeemed, still wrestles with the sin that remains in their mortal body. Paul's declaration serves as both a testament to the ongoing battle with sin and the assurance that deliverance is found only in Jesus Christ.
