Romans 7:15-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ For what I am doing, ^(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 to do, I agree with ^(C)the Law, confessing that the Law is good. ¹⁷ So now, ^(D)no longer am I the one doing it, 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 doing 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 doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
