Romans 7:10-20

¹⁰and the command that is for life, this was found by me for death;

¹¹for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay me;

¹²so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

¹⁴for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

¹⁵for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

¹⁶And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good,

¹⁷and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

¹⁸for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

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

²⁰And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.
