Romans 7:14-20

14For we know that the law is spiritual – but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.

15For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want – instead, I do what I hate.

16But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.

17But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.

18For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.

19For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

20Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.
