14. For we now know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold unto subjection by sin.
15. For that which I do, I do not understand, and not even the good that I desire is what I do; but what I hate, that is what I do.
16. If then I do that which I do not desire, I approve that the law is good.
17. So that it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
18. And I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing; for I have the desire, but I am not able to perform that which is good.
19. For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not desire, that I do.
20. And if I do that which I do not desire, I am not working, but sin that dwells in me.
21. So that, desiring to do good, I find this law: evil is natural unto me.
22. For I delight with the law of God with the inward man,
23. but I see another law in my members which rebels against the law of my mind, bringing captive unto the law of sin which is in my members.
24. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
