Romans 7:14-17
King James Version
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
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.

Romans 7:14-17
Amplified Bible
The Conflict of Two Natures
14 We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am a creature of the flesh [worldly, self-reliant—carnal and unspiritual], sold into slavery to sin [and serving under its control]. 15 For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. 16 Now if I habitually do what I do not want to do, [that means] I agree with the Law, confessing that it is good (morally excellent). 17 So now [if that is the case, then] it is no longer I who do it [the disobedient thing which I despise], but the sin [nature] which lives in me.

For (B)I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with (C)the law, that it is good. 17 So now (D)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

Romanos 7:14-17
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
14 Porque sabemos que la ley es espiritual(A), pero yo soy carnal[a](B), vendido a la esclavitud del pecado[b](C).
15 Porque lo que hago, no lo entiendo(D). Porque no practico lo que quiero hacer, sino que lo que aborrezco, eso hago(E). 16 Y si lo que no quiero hacer, eso hago, estoy de acuerdo con la ley, reconociendo que es buena(F). 17 Así que ya no soy yo el que lo hace, sino el pecado que habita en mí(G).
