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.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
19
For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
