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
Revised Standard Version
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, 23 but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
