15. For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want – instead, I do what I hate.
16. But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.
17. But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.
18. For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.
19. For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!
20. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.
21. So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.
