Romans 7:15-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.(A) 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. 17 But in fact it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that the good does not dwell within me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do the good lies close at hand, but not the ability.(B) 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me.

Romans 7:15-20
New American Standard Bible
15 For (A)I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing (B)what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 However, if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with (C)the Law, that the Law is good. 17 But now, (D)no longer am I the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that good does not dwell 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 do the very thing I do not want, (G)I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.
