Romans 7:21-25
New International Version
21 So I find this law at work:(A) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(B) I delight in God’s law;(C) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(D) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(E) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(F) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(G)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(H) but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin.(I)

Romans 7:21-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 So I discover this principle:[a](A) When I want to do what is good, evil is with me. 22 For in my inner self[b] I joyfully agree with God’s law.(B) 23 But I see a different law in the parts of my body,[c](C) waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.[d] 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this dying body?(D) 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord![e](E) So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.
