Romans 7:15-20
Legacy Standard Bible
15 For what I am working out, (A)I do not understand; for I am not practicing (B)what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want, I agree with (C)the Law, that it is good. 17 So now, (D)no longer am I the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my (E)flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the working out of the good is not. 19 For (F)the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, (G)I am no longer the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me.

Romans 7:15-20
Common English Bible
15 I don’t know what I’m doing, because I don’t do what I want to do. Instead, I do the thing that I hate. 16 But if I’m doing the thing that I don’t want to do, I’m agreeing that the Law is right. 17 But now I’m not the one doing it anymore. Instead, it’s sin that lives in me. 18 I know that good doesn’t live in me—that is, in my body. The desire to do good is inside of me, but I can’t do it. 19 I don’t do the good that I want to do, but I do the evil that I don’t want to do. 20 But if I do the very thing that I don’t want to do, then I’m not the one doing it anymore. Instead, it is sin that lives in me that is doing it.
