Romans 7:15–25

¹⁵For that which I do I allow not: for ^bwhat 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 ^cthe law that it is good. ^17dNow then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ¹⁸For I know that ^ein me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: ^bfor to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. ¹⁹For ^bthe good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. ^20dNow 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 ^fI delight in the law of God after ^gthe inward man: ²³but I see ^hanother law in ⁱmy members, ^kwarring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the ^lbody of this death? ^25mI 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.
