The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
12 itaque lex quidem sancta et mandatum sanctum et iustum et bonum
12
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
13 quod ergo bonum est mihi factum est mors absit sed peccatum ut appareat peccatum per bonum mihi operatum est mortem ut fiat supra modum peccans peccatum per mandatum
13
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 scimus enim quod lex spiritalis est ego autem carnalis sum venundatus sub peccato
14
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
15 quod enim operor non intellego non enim quod volo hoc ago sed quod odi illud facio
15
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
16 si autem quod nolo illud facio consentio legi quoniam bona
16
And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
17 nunc autem iam non ego operor illud sed quod habitat in me peccatum
17
As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
18 scio enim quia non habitat in me hoc est in carne mea bonum nam velle adiacet mihi perficere autem bonum non invenio
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 non enim quod volo bonum hoc facio sed quod nolo malum hoc ago
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 si autem quod nolo illud facio non ego operor illud sed quod habitat in me peccatum
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 invenio igitur legem volenti mihi facere bonum quoniam mihi malum adiacet
21
So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 condelector enim legi Dei secundum interiorem hominem
22
For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;
