Abstract

The meaning of "I" within the context of Romans 7 disposes different feasible soteriological models. Thus, the article contributes to the debate about its meaning and outlines a proposal relating the practical use of " έүώ". It also suggests that in some models of recognition of meaning, there is some degree of tolerance to non-viable criteria of interpretation.
