Romans 7:14-8:8

New King James Version

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, ^(A)sold under sin. ¹⁵ For what I am doing, I do not understand. ^(B)For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. ¹⁶ If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. ¹⁷ But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. ¹⁸ For I know that ^(C)in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. ¹⁹ For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. ²⁰ Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

²¹ I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. ²² For I ^(D)delight in the law of God according to ^(E)the inward man. ²³ But ^(F)I see another law in ^(G)my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me ^(H)from this body of death? ^25 (I)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.

Free from Indwelling Sin

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, ^(J)who^[a] do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ² For ^(K)the law of ^(L)the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from ^(M)the law of sin and death. ³ For ^(N)what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, ^(O)God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who ^(P)do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For ^(Q)those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, ^(R)the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For ^(S)to be ^[b]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷ Because ^(T)the ^[c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, ^(U)nor indeed can be. ⁸ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
