Romans 7:17-23

17In that caseG3570, it is no longerG3765 IG1473 who doG2716 itG846, butG235 it is sinG266 livingG3611 inG1722 meG1473 that does it.

18

I knowG1492 thatG3754 nothingG3756 goodG18 livesG3611 inG1722 meG1473, thatG3778 isG1510, inG1722 myG1473 fleshG4561; forG1063 IG1473 haveG3873 theG3588 desireG2309 to doG2716 what isG3588 goodG2570, butG1161 I cannotG3756 carry it out. 19ForG1063 I do not doG3756G4160 the goodG18 I wantG2309 to do. InsteadG235, I keep on doingG4238 the evilG2556 I do not wantG3756G2309 to do. 20AndG1161 ifG1487 IG1473 doG4160 whatG3739 I do not wantG3756G2309, it is no longerG3765 IG1473 who doG2716 itG846, butG235 it is sinG266 livingG3611 inG1722 meG1473 that does it.

21SoG686 this is theG3588 principleG3551 I have discoveredG2147: When IG1473 wantG2309 to doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is right there withG3873 meG1473. 22ForG1063 inG3588 my innerG2080 beingG444 I delightG4913 inG3588 God’sG2316 lawG3551. 23ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 at work inG1722 myG1473 bodyG3196, warring againstG497 theG3588 lawG3551 of myG1473 mindG3563 andG2532 holding me captiveG1473G163 toG1722 theG3588 lawG3551 of sinG266 that dwellsG1510 withinG1722 me.1
