Romans 7:13-25 - Internal Conflict With Sin

¹³ Then has that which is good become death to me? Let it not be! But sin, that it might appear to be sin, working death in me by that which is good; in order that sin might become exceedingly sinful by the commandment. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. ¹⁵ For that which I do, I know not. For what I desire, that I do not do; but what I hate, that I do. ¹⁶ If then I do that which I do not desire, I consent to the law that it is good. ¹⁷ But now it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. ¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I do not find. ¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do. ²⁰ But if I do what I do not desire, it is no more I working it out, but sin dwelling in me. ²¹ I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me. 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 being in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this 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.
