18. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing, for the will to do what is right is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.
19. For the good I desire to do, I do not do, 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 who does it, but sin that lives in me.
21. I find then a law that when I desire to do good, evil is present with me.
22. For I delight in the law of God according to the inner man,
23. but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?
25. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.So then, with my mind, I serve the law of God, but with my flesh, the law of sin.
