Romans 7:21-23
New King James Version
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I (A)delight in the law of God according to (B)the inward man. 23 But (C)I see another law in (D)my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Romans 7:21-23
The Message
21-23 It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge.

Romans 7:21-25
J.B. Phillips New Testament
21-25 When I come up against the Law I want to do good, but in practice I do evil. My conscious mind whole-heartedly endorses the Law, yet I observe an entirely different principle at work in my nature. This is in continual conflict with my conscious attitude, and makes me an unwilling prisoner to the law of sin and death. In my mind I am God’s willing servant, but in my own nature I am bound fast, as I say, to the law of sin and death. It is an agonising situation, and who on earth can set me free from the clutches of my sinful nature? I thank God there is a way out through Jesus Christ our Lord.

21 Así que, queriendo yo hacer el bien, hallo la ley de que el mal está presente en mí(A). 22 Porque en el[a] hombre interior(B) me deleito con la ley de Dios, 23 pero veo otra ley en los miembros de mi cuerpo[b] que hace guerra(C) contra la ley de mi mente, y me hace prisionero de[c] la ley del pecado que está en mis miembros(D).

Who will deliver me (E)from this body of death? 25 (F)I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

24 I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question?
25 The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.

24 ¡Miserable de mí[d]! ¿Quién me libertará de este cuerpo de muerte[e](E)? 25 Gracias a Dios, por Jesucristo Señor nuestro(F). Así que yo mismo, por un lado, con la mente sirvo a la ley de Dios, pero por el otro, con la carne, a la ley del pecado(G).
