14. We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold into slavery to sin.
15. What I do, I do not understand. For I do not do what I want, but I do what I hate.
16. Now if I do what I do not want, I concur that the law is good.
17. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
18. For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh. The willing is ready at hand, but doing the good is not.
19. For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want.
