Romans 7:14-20

14So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin.

15I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.

16But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good.

17So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

18And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t.

19I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.

20But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
