Romans 7:15-25
Read Romans 7 in full →15For what I am working out, aI do not understand; for I am not practicing bwhat I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16But if I do the very thing I do not want, I agree with athe Law, that it is good. 17So now, ano longer am I the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my aflesh; for the willing is present in me, but the working out of the good is not. 19For athe good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, aI am no longer the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me.
21I find then athe 1principle that in me evil is present—in me who wants to do good. 22For I joyfully concur with the law of God 1in athe inner man, 23but I see aa different law in my members, waging war against the blaw of my mind and making me a captive 1to cthe law of sin which is in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from 1,athe body of this bdeath? 251,aThanks 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 bthe law of sin.
