Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!  So then, with my mind I myself am serving the law of God, but with my flesh, the law of sin.

For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh.  For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it.

For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do.

Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one that does it, but it is the sin that lives in me.

So I discover this law:  , When I want to do what is good,  evil is present with me. For in my inner self  I delight in God’s law

Now if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
