New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
New International Version NIV
20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
20
Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
21
So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
22
For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;
23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
23
but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
24
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord ! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
25
Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
