Romans 7:14-25 - The Conflict In Us
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I accomplish, I know not; for not what I wish, this do I practice; but what I hate, this I do. 16 But, if what I wish not, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good. 17 And now no longer do I accomplish it, but the sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that there dwells not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good; for to wish is present with me: but to do that which is good a not. 19 For the good that I wish, I do not; but the evil which I wish not, this I practice. 20 But, if what I wish not, this I do, it is no more I that perform it, but the sin that is dwelling in me. 21 Consequently, I find the law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is present. 22 or I delight in the law of God after the inward man; 23 but I see a different 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 Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me out of the body of this death? 25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Accordingly, therefore, I myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but, with the flesh, the law of sin.
