Romans 7:10-20

¹⁰And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.

¹¹For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.

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

¹³Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.

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

¹⁵For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.

¹⁶If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.

¹⁷Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

¹⁸For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.

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

²⁰Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
