Romans 7:15-20

NLT

NIV

15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.
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 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good.
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t.
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 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.
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 But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
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.
