Romans 7:15-20
New American Standard Bible
15 For (A)I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing (B)what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 However, if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with (C)the Law, that the Law is good. 17 But now, (D)no longer am I the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my (E)flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing 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 do the very thing I do not want, (G)I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

Romans 7:15-20
American Standard Version
15 For that which I [a]do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do. 16 But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 So now it is no more I that [b]do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to [c]do that which is good is not. 19 For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise. 20 But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that [d]do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

Romans 7:15-20
New International Version
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(A) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(B) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(C) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a](D) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(E) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(F)
