Romans 7:21-25
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
So The Evil Inside Me Enslaves Me To The Law of Sin And Death In Me
21 I find then the law[a] in me, the one wanting to do the good, that the evil is present in me. 22 For I am rejoicing-with[b] the Law of God according-to[c] the inner person. 23 But I am seeing a different law in my body-parts waging-war-against[d] the law of my mind, and taking me captive[e] under the law of sin existing in my body-parts. 24 I am a wretched[f] person! Who will deliver me from this[g] body of [h] death? 25 But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself am serving the Law of God with the mind, but the law of sin with the flesh.
