For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.

For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want – instead, I do what I hate.

Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.

For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.
