    16 And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that `it is' good,

    17 and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

    18 for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

    19 for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

    20 And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

    21 I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

    22 for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

    23 and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that `is' in my members.

    24 A wretched man I `am'! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

    5 for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that `are' through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

    6 and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

    7 What, then, shall we say? the law `is' sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

    8 `Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

    9 And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

    10 and the command that `is' for life, this was found by me for death;

    11 for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay `me';

    12 so that the law, indeed, `is' holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

    13 That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

    14 for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
