Romanos 7

14 For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

15 And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.

16 But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.

17 So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

18 For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

19 For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.

20 But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

21 So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

22 In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,

23 But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

24 How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

25 I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.
