Romans 7:14-25

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

¹⁵ For that which I do, I know not. For what I would do, that do I not; but what I hate, that I do.

¹⁶ If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law, that it is good.

¹⁷ Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing; for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not.

¹⁹ For the good that I would do, I do not; but the evil which I would not do, that I do.

²⁰ Now if I do that which I would not do, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

²¹ I find then a law that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

²² For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.

²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

²⁵ I thank God — through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
