14. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15. For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practise what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16. But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
19. For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practise.
20. But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21. I find then the law that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22. For I delight in God’s Torah after the inward man,
23. but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25. I thank God through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s Torah, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
