17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
17
As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living 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.
18
For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
