Verse Numbers
15
I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
16
Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good.
17
But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me.
18
For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.
19
For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.
20
Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me.
21
So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand.
22
For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self,
23
but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
