That is correct. I was just noting that the rest of the verse contradicts what Paul says about the believer. (serving the Law of sin in the flesh). Paul describes believers in Romans 6, 7 & 8 as using the members for righteousness -- NOT sin.

No, its not diversionary at all. Do you believe that freedom in Christ is a present reality for believers or not? Future means future...as in it hasn't happened yet (at all)...future tense means that its not a present reality.
If Paul was describing the present plight of a believer, shouldn't Paul have used a past or at least present tense for the verb 'deliver'?
