Romans 7:17–23

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
Selected verse

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, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

22

For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,

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.
