Rom.7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin. 7:15 For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

What does man judge man against? Law! Nothing incites hate more than when a person breaks the law with impunity, or those that should uphold the law break it by not upholding it justicly. All human laws can be improve upon, there is always something lacking in them, but not God's law.

Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.

Jeremiah 23:4 I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, says Yahweh.

Even when measured against human law a person can stand condemned by the law. Here, the apostle Paul states a dichotomy which is, God's law is spiritual, but he was sold under sin in his flesh. In other words, unlike human laws for sinful flesh, God's law was perfect for perfect spiritual people, but none existed! God's law measured perfection, and Paul was sinful so when he was honest not deluding himself with sinful thoughts, that is, yeast thoughts making his judgment of himself better than truth was, he was soundly condemned for an eternity by God's law!

Luke 6:37 Don't judge, and you won't be judged. Don't condemn, and you won't be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

Now Paul found the law did not give an inches it did not pat him on the back, it did not kiss his lips with beautiful words saying: “Paul your a wonderful man with a good heart!” No! The law could not lie, or it wouldn't be perfect unlike men whom flatter each other with many words whom at the same time will become enraged at others when told they are not as great as they have measured themselves too be.

Romans 5:18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

Titus 2:8 and soundness of speech that can't be condemned; that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.

James 3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

When people run up against something which judges their conduct, removing them from delusion of their world of unreality which they have built for themselves through justification of evil acts they hate the message and the messenger. Paul found himself to be both here, the message and the messenger! He was judged, and loathed himself for not being able to meet the perfect law of God. With all his heart he wanted more than all else to prove his love for God on his terms of meeting God's perfect law. When he found he could not, he hated what was in him, sin.

Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

Many Christian's comes to this marked point in their life and return to disillusionment in hating the messenger, usually Paul in this case. They do what Paul did not take personally when Paul found measured by the law acknowledging he could not, not sin. In other words, he could never be good enough, he did not kill his brothers and sisters condemning them for telling him the truth. He acknowledge God was good enough, and loves us despite we are sinners. Unlike Cain whom slaughter his brother because God accepted Abel's sacrifice of blood atoning for his sins, while his brother Cain thought he stood right by his own evaluation of himself.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

1 Timothy 1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Each of us, each day must stay on point, or we will kill our brothers and sisters by judging them unrighteously by the law of love, which is not possible unless we are looking at them and not ourselves honestly. If we cannot avail ourselves from sin, and we stand freed of sin in God's love, why would anyone one of us use a law that none of us could measure up to to judge others by, unless it was for unrighteous reason to empower our own disillusioned mind?

1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
