Romans 7:13-25 - Internal Conflict With Sin

¹³ Did then that which is good become fatal to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin by that which was good [in itself], was the cause of death to me; that sin through the commandment might become transcendantly sinful. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin. ¹⁵ For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do. ¹⁶ But if what I would not, that I do, I concur with the law that it is excellent. ¹⁷ Now then no more I do this, but sin dwelling in me. ¹⁸ For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. ¹⁹ For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do. ²⁰ If then I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ²¹ I find then a law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is presented to me. ²² For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man: ²³ but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man, I! who shall pluck me from the body of this death? ²⁵ I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, I myself with my mind am servant to the law of God; but in my flesh to the law of sin.
