For I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate.

For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

However, if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, that the Law is good.

If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

But now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.

For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

But if I do the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
