    13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? Certainly not. But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good; that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

    14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

    15 For what I do, I do not understand: for what I want to do, that I do not do; but what I hate, that I do.

    16 If then I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

    17 Now then it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

    18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) nothing good dwells: for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

    19 For the good that I want to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not want to do, that I do.

    20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

    21 I find then a law, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

    22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inner man:

    23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

    24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

    25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

    5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, worked in our members to bear fruit to death.

    6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

    7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not. Indeed, I would not have known sin except through the law: for I would not have known lust unless the law had said, 'You shall not covet.'

    8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of covetousness. For without the law, sin was dead.

    9 For I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

    10 And the commandment, which was intended for life, I found to be leading to death.

    11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.
