Romans 7:17

New International Version

As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

See the chapter Copy

For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.

For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.
