I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature ... When I want to do good, evil is right there with me ... What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Thanks be to God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord!Romans 7:14-25
