For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. ^19 (B)For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. ²⁰ Now if I do what I do not want, ^(C)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

²⁴ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from ^(A)this body of death?
