Romans 7:21-25
New American Standard Bible
21 I find then (A)the [a]principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully agree with the law of God [b]in (B)the inner person, 23 but I see (C)a different law in [c]the parts of my body waging war against the (D)law of my mind, and making me a prisoner [d]of (E)the law of sin, the law which is in [e]my body’s parts. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from [f](F)the body of this (G)death? 25 (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
American Standard Version
21 I find then [a]the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. 22 For I delight [b]in the law of God after the inward man: 23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity [c]under the law of sin which is in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of [d]the body of this death? 25 [e]I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
