Romans 7:12-21

12So that the lawG3551 indeed [is] holyG40, and the commandmentG1785 holyG40, and justG1342, and goodG18.

13Did thenG3767 that which is goodG18 becomeG1096 deathG2288 to me? Far be the thought. But sinG266, that it might appearG5316 sinG266, working deathG2288 to me by that which is goodG18; in orderG2443 that sinG266 by the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceeding sinfulG268.

14For we know that the lawG3551 isG1510 spiritualG4152: but I amG1510 fleshly, sold under sinG266.

15For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hateG3404, this I practise.

16But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the lawG3551 that [it is] rightG2570.

17NowG1161 thenG1161 [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sinG266 that dwellsG3611 in me.

18For I know that in me, that isG1510, in my fleshG4561, goodG18 does not dwell: for to will isG1510 there with me, but to do rightG2570 [I find] not.

19For I do not practise the goodG18 that I will; but the evilG2556 I do not will, that I do.

20But if what I do not will, this I practise, [it is] noG3756 longer I [that] do it, but the sinG266 that dwellsG3611 in me.

21I findG2147 thenG686 the lawG3551 upon me who willG2309 to practise what is rightG2570, that with me evilG2556 is there.
