Romans 7:21-25

21So I understand what is happening in me. Whenever I want to do something good, I can only choose something bad.

22Deep inside myself, I really love God's laws.

23So my mind tells me to obey God's laws. But my body wants to make me do something else. Every part of me fights against what my mind tells me to do. Sin has power over my body so that I am like a prisoner.

24This makes me very sad! My body is leading me to death. I need someone to make me free from the power of sin over my body.

25I thank God! He has made me free, because of what Jesus Christ has done. So with my mind I want to obey God's laws. But, at the same time, I serve sin as my master, because I am weak and human.
