19. For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but the evil that I do not want to do, this I do.
20. But if what I do not want to do, this I am doing, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that lives in me.
21. Consequently, I find the principle with me, the one who wants to do good, that evil is present with me.
22. For I joyfully agree with the law of God in my inner person,
23. but I observe another law in my members, at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that exists in my members.
