Romans 7:17

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.

See the chapter Copy

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.

Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.

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.

For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not.
