19For the good that I want to do I do not do; but the evil I do not want to do, this I practice.
20But if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.
21Therefore I find this law, that when I wish to do the right thing, evil is right there with me.
22For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.
23But I see a different law in my members, waging war against the law of my mind, and capturing me by the law of sin which is in my members.
24O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this body of death?
25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself with the mind serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
