Yes.You must read the scripture in context Read Galatians 5:16. Also you must understand the context of Romans 7 which Paul gives in Romans 7:1, he is speaking as one under the law of sin and death (see Romans 7:23). A Christian is not under the law of sin and death (see Romans 8: 1-2 and compare it to Romans 7:23, ask yourself which category do you fall under).
