²⁰ Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

⁸ Yet indeed I also count all things loss ^(A)for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in Him, not having ^(B)my own righteousness, which is from the law, but ^(C)that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

¹⁸ For I know that ^(A)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.

⁶ But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:

¹² For ^(A)if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.

²³ But ^(A)I see another law in ^(B)my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
