Romans 7:22

Internal Conflict With Sin

²¹ I find that this law is at work. When I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have. ²² For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, ²³ However I see a different law at work in my body. This law fights against the law that my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin that is at work in my body.
