¹⁵ For ^(A)I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing ^(B)what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate.

¹⁸ For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my ^(A)flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. ¹⁹ For ^(B)the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. ²⁰ But if I do the very thing I do not want, ^(C)I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

²⁴ Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from ^[a](A)the body of this ^(B)death? ^25 (C)Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh ^(D)the law of sin.
