Romans 7:16-20
New International Version
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(A) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(B) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a](C) 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.(D) 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.(E)

Romans 7:16-20
King James Version
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that 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 how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
