15. For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that I do not; but what I hate, that I do.
16. If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good.
17. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not.
19. For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20. Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21. I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22. For I delight in the law of God, after the inward 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 shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25. I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
