14We know that the laws that God gave Moses came from God's Spirit. But as for me, I am influenced by my self-directed nature. It is as though I have been forced to become a slave of my desire to sin MET.
15The things that I do, I often HYP do not understand. That is, sometimes HYP it is the good things that I want to do that I do not do. And sometimes HYP it is the evil things that I detest that I do.
14The problem is not the law, it is me. We know this. A long time ago God told Moses to write down that law, so there is nothing wrong with the law. But there is something wrong with me. I’m just a normal human. I keep going wrong. There is a bad part of me inside me that is my boss and I have to do everything that this boss tells me to do.
15I don’t understand it. I want to do good things. But I can’t do those good things that I want to do. What I do are the things that I hate.
14And we know, that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15For I understand not that that I work; for I do not the good thing that I will, (or for I do not do the good thing that I desire to do), but I do that evil thing that I hate.
