Romans 7:15-20

International Standard Version

¹⁵ I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I want to do, but instead do what I hate. ¹⁶ Now if I practice what I don’t want to do, I am admitting that the Law is good. ¹⁷ As it is, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that is living in me.

¹⁸ For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but I cannot carry it out. ¹⁹ For I don’t do the good I want to do, but instead do the evil that I don’t want to do. ²⁰ But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that is living in me.
