That being so, it is not I who do the deed but sin that dwells within me.
Well, if I act against my wishes, it is not I who do the deed but sin that dwells within me.
For in me (that is, in my flesh) no good dwells, I know; the wish is there, but not the power of doing what is right.
If only one is ready to give, according to his means, it is acceptable; he is not asked to give what he has not got.
but then I find quite another law in my members which conflicts with the law of my mind and makes me a prisoner to sin's law that resides in my members.
