Romans 7:21-25
Legacy Standard Bible
21 I find then (A)the [a]principle that in me evil is present—in me who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God [b]in (B)the inner man, 23 but I see (C)a different law in my members, waging war against the (D)law of my mind and making me a captive [c]to (E)the law of sin which is in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from [d](F)the body of this (G)death? 25 [e](H)Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh (I)the law of sin.

Romans 7:21-25
International Standard Version
21 So I find this to be a principle:[a] when I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me. 22 For I delight in the Law of God in my inner being, 23 but I see in my body[b] a different principle[c] waging war with the Law in my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin that exists in my body.[d] 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is infected by[e] death? 25 Thank God through Jesus the Messiah,[f] our Lord, because with my mind I myself can serve the Law of God, even while with my human nature[g] I serve the law of sin.
