    7 What shall we say then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet.'

    8 But sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.

    9 At one time I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin came to life and I died.

    10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.

    11 For sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.

    12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

    13 Did what is good then become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, in order to be recognized as sin, used what is good to bring about my death, so that sin might become utterly sinful through the commandment.

    14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

    15 For I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do.

    17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

    18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

    19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

    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 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

    22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;

    23 but I see another law at work in my members, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.

    24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

    25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
