Romans 7:15-25
American Standard Version
15 For that which I [a]do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do. 16 But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 So now it is no more I that [b]do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to [c]do that which is good is not. 19 For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise. 20 But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that [d]do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. 21 I find then [e]the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. 22 For I delight [f]in the law of God after the inward man: 23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity [g]under the law of sin which is in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of [h]the body of this death? 25 [i]I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
