Romans 7:14-25

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁴ ¶ For we now know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold unto subjection by sin.

¹⁵ For that which I do, I do not understand, and not even the good that I desire is what I do; but what I hate, that is what I do.

¹⁶ If then I do that which I do not desire, I approve that the law is good.

¹⁷ So that it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

¹⁸ And I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing; for I have the desire, but I am not able to perform that which is good.

¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not desire, that I do.

²⁰ And if I do that which I do not desire, I am not working, but sin that dwells in me.

²¹ So that, desiring to do good, I find this law: evil is natural unto me.

²² For I delight with the law of God with the inward man,

²³ but I see another law in my members which rebels against the law of my mind, bringing captive unto the law of sin which is in my members.

²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

²⁵ The grace of God, by Jesus, the Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
