Romans 7:17

New International Reader's Version

As it is, I am no longer the one who does these things. It is sin living in me that does them.

See the chapter Copy

I know there is nothing good in my desires controlled by sin. I want to do what is good, but I can’t.

I do what I don’t want to do. But I am not really the one who is doing it. It is sin living in me that does it.

But I see another law working in me. It fights against the law of my mind. It makes me a prisoner of the law of sin. That law controls me.

Do you really want to give? Then the gift is measured by what someone has. It is not measured by what they don’t have.
