Romans 7:18-23

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.

²¹I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

²²for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

²³and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that is in my members.
