18 For I know that in me dwells no good, (that is, in my flesh:) for to will lies near me; but to work good I find not. 19 For not what good I would, do I; but the evil I would not, this I do. 20 And if what I would not, this I do, I no more work it, but sin dwelling in me. 21 I find therefore a law to me, wishing to do good, that evil lies near me. 22 For I rejoice in the law of God, according to the man within: 23 And I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and taking me captive to the law of sin being in my members. 24 I an oppressed man: who shall save me from the body of this death? 25 I return thanks to God by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore truly with the mind I serve the law of God; and with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:18-25, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
