The power to do right

'The power to do (right) I do not find' -Paul in Romans 7:

There is no power to do good, to be right to be Holy apart from Christ Himself, which is found in communion with Him and in the Holy Spirit which He provides in this communion.

The flesh is such a heavy powerful, pervading default way of living, nothing can free us of its influence except Christ and the good habits of character formed by God's grace, habits formed in communion, in habitual reliance on Christ and the holy spirit.
