¹⁴

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

¹⁵

For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

¹⁶

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

¹⁷

But now, 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 will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

²⁰

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

²¹

I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.

²²

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward 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.

¹

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

²

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
