14
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15
For I don`t know what I am doing. For I don`t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16
But if what I don`t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17
So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don`t find it doing that which is good.
19
For the good which I desire, I don`t do; but the evil which I don`t desire, that I practice.
20
But if what I don`t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21
I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22
For I delight in God`s law after the inward man,
23
but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24
What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25
I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
