21. So I have learned this rule: When I want to do good, evil is there with me.
22. In my mind, I am happy with God’s law.
23. But I see another law working in my body. That law makes war against the law that my mind accepts. That other law working in my body is the law of sin, and that law makes me its prisoner.
24. What a miserable man I am! Who will save me from this body that brings me death?
25. God will. I thank him for saving me through Jesus Christ our Lord!So in my mind I am a slave to God’s law. But in my sinful self I am a slave to the law of sin.
