    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.

    12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

    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.

    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.
