So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.
Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.
For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.
For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.
but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members.
