13. Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15. For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
16. But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that it is right.
17. Now then it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
18. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not.
19. For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.
