Romans 7:14-24

14For we knowG3609 that the LawG3551 is 1spiritualG4152, but I amG1510 2of fleshG4560, 3soldG4097 45into bondage to sinG266. 15For whatG3739 I am doingG2716, 6I do not understandG1097; for I am not practicingG4238 7whatG3739 I would likeG2309 to do, but I am doingG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3739 I hateG3404. 16But ifG1487 I doG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3778 I do not wantG2309 to do, I agreeG4852 with 8the LawG3551, confessing that the LawG3551 is goodG2570. 17SoG1161 nowG3570, 9noG3765 longerG3765 am I the one doingG2716 it, but sinG266 which dwellsG1774 in me. 18For I knowG3609 that nothingG3756 goodG18 dwellsG3611 in me, that is, in my 10fleshG4561; for the willingG2309 is presentG3873 in me, but the doingG2716 of the goodG2570 is not. 19For 11the goodG18 that I wantG2309, I do not doG4160, but I practiceG4238 the veryG3778 evilG2556 that I do not wantG2309. 20But ifG1487 I am doingG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3778 I do not wantG2309, 12I am noG3765 longerG3765 the one doingG2716 it, but sinG266 which dwellsG3611 in me.

21I findG2147 thenG686 13the 14principleG3551 that evilG2556 is presentG3873 in me, the one who wantsG2309 to doG4160 goodG2570. 22For I joyfullyG4913 concurG4913 with the lawG3551 of GodG2316 15in 16the innerG2080 manG444, 23but I seeG991 17a differentG2087 lawG3551 in 18the membersG3196 of my body, wagingG497 warG497 againstG497 the 19lawG3551 of my mindG3563 and makingG163 me a prisonerG163 20of 21the lawG3551 of sinG266 which is in my membersG3196. 24WretchedG5005 manG444 that I am! WhoG5101 will setG4506 me freeG4506 from 2223the bodyG4983 of thisG3778 24deathG2288?
