Blog page pagination is not working after using the offset argument

I have displayed the recent 7 posts then shown the remaining posts. So I have added the offset = 7 in the argument to skip above 7 recent posts and display remaining posts but the pagination not working.

Pagination URL changes like xxx.com/page/2, xxx.com/page/3, etc but the posts do not change.

I was a wonder if anyone can help me.

Here is my code. Index.php

 get_header();
?
div class="container"
    ?php if (is_home()  !is_front_page()) : ?
        header class="page-header"
            h1 class="page-title"?php single_post_title(); ?/h1
        /header
    ?php else : ?
        header class="page-header"
            h2 class="page-title"?php _e('Posts', 'twentyseventeen'); ?/h2
        /header
    ?php endif; ?
