Romans 7:16-18
New Testament for Everyone
16 So if I do what I don’t want to do, I am agreeing that the law is good.
17 But now it is no longer I that do it; it’s sin, living within me. 18 I know, you see, that no good thing lives in me, that is, in my human flesh. For I can will the good, but I can’t perform it.
