Romans 7:15-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ For that which I do, I do not understand, and not even the good that I desire is what I do; but what I hate, that is what I do.

¹⁶ If then I do that which I do not desire, I approve that the law is good.

¹⁷ So that it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

¹⁸ And I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing; for I have the desire, but I am not able to perform that which is good.

¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not desire, that I do.

²⁰ And if I do that which I do not desire, I am not working, but sin that dwells in me.
