Romanos 7:16 In-Context

14 Porque sabemos que la ley es espiritual, pero yo soy carnal, vendido a la esclavitud del pecado.
15 Porque lo que hago, no lo entiendo; porque no practico lo que quiero hacer, sino que lo que aborrezco, eso hago.
16 Y si lo que no quiero hacer, eso hago, estoy de acuerdo con la ley, reconociendo que es buena.
17 AsĂ­ que ya no soy yo el que lo hace, sino el pecado que habita en mĂ­.
18 Porque yo sé que en mí, es decir, en mi carne, no habita nada bueno; porque el querer está presente en mí, pero el hacer el bien, no.
