Romans 7:9-25

9But I was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but I died. 10And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death: 11for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me]. 12So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, sold under sin. 15For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise. 16But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right. 17Now then [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me. 18For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not. 19For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do. 20But if what I do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me. 21I find then the law upon me who will to practise what is right, that with me evil is there. 22For I delight in the law of 1God according to the inward man: 23but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members. 24O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death? 25I thank 2God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve 3God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.
