Romans, Chapter 7, verses 14-25
14 The Conflict of Two Natures14 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, soldminto bondage to sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. 17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. | |
21 I find then thenprinciple that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully concur with the law of Godoin the inner man, 23 but I see a different law inpthe members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisonerqof the law of sin which is in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free fromrthe body of this death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin. |
