Romans 7:14-25

14For we know that the Law is 1spiritual, but I am 2fleshly, 3sold 45into bondage to sin. 15For 6I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing 7what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate. 16However, if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with 8the Law, that the Law is good. 17But now, 9no longer am I the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me. 18For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my 10flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19For 11the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20But if I do the very thing I do not want, 12I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

21I find then 13the 14principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22For I joyfully agree with the law of God 15in 16the inner person, 23but I see 17a different law in 18the parts of my body waging war against the 19law of my mind, and making me a prisoner 20of 21the law of sin, the law which is in 22my body’s parts. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from 2324the body of this 25death? 2526Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh 27the law of sin.
