As it is, I’m no longer the one who does these things. It’s the sin living in me that does them.
So if I do what I don’t want to do, then I’m not the one who’s doing it. It’s the sin living in me that does it.
I know there’s nothing good in my desires that are controlled by sin. I want to do what’s good, but I can’t.
Do you really want to give? Then your gift will be measured by what you have, not by what you don’t.
But I recognize that there’s another law at work inside of me. It’s fighting the law of my mind and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that’s at work within me.
