Romans 7:20-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. Now if I do what I am not willing to do, it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin which lives within me.

21. And so, I discover the law, by wanting to do good within myself, though evil lies close beside me.

22. For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inner man.

23. But I perceive another law within my body, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me with the law of sin which is in my body.

24. Unhappy man that I am, who will free me from this body of death?

25. The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord! Therefore, I serve the law of God with my own mind; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
