Romans 7:14

Internal Conflict With Sin

¹³ Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil. ¹⁴ For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin. ¹⁵ And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.
