17
and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,
18
for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,
19
for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.
20
And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.
21
I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,
22
for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
23
and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that [is] in my members.
24
A wretched man I [am]! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
25
I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
