New Testament

Romans 7:21-25 Good News Bible (GNB)

21. So I find that this law is at work: when I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have.

22. My inner being delights in the law of God.

23. But I see a different law at work in my body — a law that fights against the law which my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin which is at work in my body.

24. What an unhappy man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is taking me to death?

25. Thanks be to God, who does this through our Lord Jesus Christ!This, then, is my condition: on my own I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.
