The Power Of Sin
14 For we know that the Law is (A) spiritual, but I am (B) of flesh, (C) sold (D) into bondage to sin.
15 For what I am doing, (E) I do not understand; for I am not practicing (F) what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.
16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with (G) the Law, confessing that the Law is good.
17 So now, (H) no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my (I) flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
19 For (J) the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.
20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, (K) I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 I find then (L) the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in (M) the inner man, 23 but I see (N) a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the (O) law of my mind and making me a prisoner of (P) the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from (Q) the body of this (R) death?
25 (S) Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our LORD! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh (T) the law of sin.
-Romans 7:14-25
