Romans 7:10-19

¹⁰And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

¹¹For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

¹²But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.

¹³Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

¹⁴For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

¹⁵And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.

¹⁶But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.

¹⁷So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

¹⁸For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

¹⁹For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.
