19
For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do.
Romans 7:19 In-Context
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 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 I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
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
So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
