"23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "Notice it says "Is death" not "Was", which was spoken After the Resurrection of Christ, and the wages of sin is still death to this day unless we Repent and recognize we Need Jesus more than food and water, for every person that ever inhabited the womb.
The last verse is believed to say that "the mind serves the law of God and the flesh serves the law of sin" and many accept that it can't be dealt with. Paul essentially is telling us when we serve God we follow The Law of God when our flesh sins we serve the law of sin.
It is written: (James 1:14-15) "Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed, then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
Romans 6:12 "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."

Romans Ch. 7 reads...
9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ Our Lord, So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin".25
