Romans 7:10-20

¹⁰And the commandment, which was for life, was found, as to me, itself to be unto death:

¹¹for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

¹²So that the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

¹³Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

¹⁵For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.

¹⁶But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that it is right.

¹⁷Now then it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

¹⁸For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not.

¹⁹For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.

²⁰But if what I do not will, this I practise, it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
