18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

18 Yes, I know that nothing good lives in me—I mean nothing good lives in the part of me that is earthly and sinful. I want to do the things that are good, but I do not do them.

18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not.

18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not.

18 I know that nothing good lives in me; that is, nothing good lives in my corrupt nature. Although I have the desire to do what is right, I don’t do it.

18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it.

18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.

18 For I know that good does not live in me, that is, in my flesh. For the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

18 I know there is nothing good in my sinful nature. I want to do what is good, but I can’t.

18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
