15. In fact, I don't understand why I act the way I do. I don't do what I know is right. I do the things I hate.
16. Although I don't do what I know is right, I agree that the Law is good.
17. So I am not the one doing these evil things. The sin that lives in me is what does them.
18. I know that my selfish desires won't let me do anything that is good. Even when I want to do right, I cannot.
19. Instead of doing what I know is right, I do wrong.
20. And so, if I don't do what I know is right, I am no longer the one doing these evil things. The sin that lives in me is what does them.
21. The Law has shown me that something in me keeps me from doing what I know is right.
