Romans 7:21-25
New International Version
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
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.
