Romans 7:21-25
Christian Standard Bible
21 So I discover this law:[a](A) When I want to do what is good,[b] evil is present with me. 22 For in my inner self[c] I delight in God’s law,(B) 23 but I see a different law in the parts of my body,[d](C) waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?(D) 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!(E) So then, with my mind I myself am serving the law of God, but with my flesh, the law of sin.

Romans 7:21-25
Lexham English Bible
21 Consequently, I find the principle with me, the one who wants to do good, that evil is present with me.[a] 22 For I joyfully agree with the law of God in my inner person, 23 but I observe another law in my members, at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that exists in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be[b] to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself with my mind am enslaved to the law of God, but with my flesh I am enslaved to the law of sin.

Romans 7:21-25
New International Version
21 So I find this law at work:(A) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(B) I delight in God’s law;(C) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(D) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(E) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(F) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(G)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(H) but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin.(I)
