Romans 7:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ I have thus discovered this principle: when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. ²² In my innermost self, I delight in the Law of God, ²³ but I perceive in the members of my body another law at war with the Law that I cherish in my mind. Thus, I am made captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
