14For we know that the law is spiritual– but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.
15For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want– instead, I do what I hate.
16But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.
17But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.
18For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.
19For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!
20Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.
21So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.
22For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.
23But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.
24Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25Thanks 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.
