Romans 7:12-21
121SoG5620 thenG5620, the LawG3551 is holyG40, and the commandmentG1785 is holyG40 and righteousG1342 and goodG18.
13ThereforeG3767 did that which is goodG18 becomeG1096 a cause of deathG2288 for me? 23FarG3361 fromG3361 it! RatherG235 it was sinG266, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 it might be shownG5316 to be sinG266 by bringingG2716 aboutG2716 my deathG2288 throughG1223 that which is goodG18, soG2443 thatG2443 throughG1223 the commandmentG1785 sinG266 would becomeG1096 utterlyG5236 sinfulG266.
14For we knowG3609 that the LawG3551 is 4spiritualG4152, but I amG1510 5fleshlyG4560, 6soldG4097 78into bondage to sinG266. 15For 9I do not understandG1097 whatG3739 I am doingG2716; for I am not practicingG4238 10whatG3739 I wantG2309 to do, but I doG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3739 I hateG3404. 16HoweverG1161, ifG1487 I doG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3778 I do not wantG2309 to do, I agreeG4852 with 11the LawG3551, that the Law is goodG2570. 17But nowG3570, 12noG3765 longerG3765 am I the one doingG2716 it, but sinG266 that dwellsG1774 in me. 18For I knowG3609 that goodG18 does not dwellG3611 in me, that is, in my 13fleshG4561; for the willingG2309 is presentG3873 in me, but the doingG2716 of the goodG2570 is not. 19For 14the goodG18 that I wantG2309, I do not doG4160, but I practiceG4238 the veryG3778 evilG2556 that I do not wantG2309. 20But ifG1487 I doG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3778 I do not wantG2309, 15I am noG3765 longerG3765 the one doingG2716 it, but sinG266 that dwellsG3611 in me.
21I findG2147 thenG686 16the 17principleG3551 that evilG2556 is presentG3873 in me, the one who wantsG2309 to doG4160 goodG2570.
