Romans 7:19-25

¹⁹For the good that I want I do not do, but the evil that I do not want, that I do.

²⁰Now if I do what I do not want to do, then it is no longer I who am acting, but rather sin that lives in me.

²¹I find, then, the principle in me that I want to do what is good, but that evil is actually present in me.

²²For I rejoice in the law of God with the inner man.

²³But I see a different principle in my body parts. It fights against that new principle in my mind. It takes me captive by the principle of sin that is in my body parts.

²⁴I am a miserable man! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

²⁵But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind. However, with the flesh I serve the principle of sin.
