Romans 7:18-25 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

18. For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.

19. For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.

20. Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21. I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.

22. For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:

23. But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.

24. Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25. The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
