New International Reader's Version

Romans 7:15-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. I don't understand what I do. I don't do what I want to do. Instead, I do what I hate to do.

16. I do what I don't want to do. So I agree that the law is good.

17. As it is, I am no longer the one who does these things. It is sin living in me that does them.

18. I know there is nothing good in my sinful nature. I want to do what is good, but I can't.

19. I don't do the good things I want to do. I keep on doing the evil things I don't want to do.

20. I do what I don't want to do. But I am not really the one who is doing it. It is sin living in me.
