Context
7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual – but I am unspiritual , sold into slavery to sin .
7:15 For I don’t understand what I am doing . For I do not do what I want – instead , I do what I hate .
7:16 But if I do what I don’t want , I agree that the law is good .
7:17 But now it is no longer me doing it , but sin that lives in me .
7:18 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.
7:19 For I do not do the good I want , but I do the very evil I do not want !
7:20 Now if I do what I do not want , it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me .
7:21 So , I find the law that when I want to do good , evil is present with me .
7:22 For I delight in the law of God in my inner being .
7:23 But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members .
7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death ?
7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord ! So then , I myself serve the law of God with my mind , but with my flesh I serve the law of sin .
