But in fact it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me.
For I know that the good does not dwell within me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do the good lies close at hand, but not the ability.
Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me.
but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.
