In Romans 7:19 Paul writes: "For the good that I would I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.: To which the Rabbis would reply: That is to refuse to give God the honour. For in his Torah it says: "For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldst say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldst say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us. that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it." (Deut 30:11-14)...
