I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do
what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells
within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but
I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do
not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me.
So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law
of God in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me
captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this
body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with my mind I am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh I am a slave to the law of sin.
ROMANS 7:15-25
