Romans 7:19-24

19I don’t do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I don’t want to do.

20Now, when I do what I don’t want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it. Sin that lives in me is doing it.

21So I’ve discovered this truth: Evil is present with me even when I want to do what God’s standards say is good.

22I take pleasure in God’s standards in my inner being.

23However, I see a different standard ⌞at work⌟ throughout my body. It is at war with the standards my mind sets and tries to take me captive to sin’s standards which still exist throughout my body.

24What a miserable person I am! Who will rescue me from my dying body?
