Romans 7:13

World English Bible (2000)

Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

    5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

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

    15 For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

    16 But if what I don't desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

    17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

    18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

    19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

    20 But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

    21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

    22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man,

    23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

    24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

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