15 For what I am working out, (A)I do not understand; for I am not practicing (B)what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want, I agree with (C)the Law, that it is good. 17 So now, (D)no longer am I the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my (E)flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the working out of the good is not. 19 For (F)the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, (G)I am no longer the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me.
