Romans 7:18-25

18 For I know that nothing good dwells ^yin me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 ^zFor I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, ^aait is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For ^abI delight in the law of God, ^acin my inner being, 23 but I see in my members ^adanother law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from ^aethis body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
