Romans 7:18-25
18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my aflesh; for the willing is present in me, but the working out of the good is not. 19 For athe good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, aI am no longer the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me.
21 I find then athe principle that in me evil is present—in me who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in athe inner man, 23 but I see aa different law in my members, waging war against the blaw of my mind and making me a captive to cthe law of sin which is in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from athe body of this bdeath? 25 aThanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh bthe law of sin.
