Romans 7:7-25

[7] What  shall we say  then?  Is the law  sin?  God forbid.  Nay,  not  known  sin,  by  the law:  for  not  known  lust,  the law  not  covet.  [8] But  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the commandment,  wrought  in  all manner of  concupiscence.  For  without  the law  sin  was dead.  [9] For  was alive  without  the law  once:  but  when the commandment  came,  sin  revived,  and  died.  [10] And  the commandment,  which  was ordained to  life,  found  to be unto  death.  [11] For  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the commandment,  deceived  and  by  it  slew  [12] Wherefore  the law  is holy,  and  the commandment  holy,  and  just,  and  good.  [13] Was then  that which is good  made  death  God forbid.  But  sin,  that  it might appear  sin,  working  death  by  that which is good;  that  sin  by  the commandment  might become  exceeding  sinful.  [14] For  we know  that  the law  spiritual:  but  am  sold  under  sin.  [15] For  that which  I do  I allow  not:  for  what  I would,  do I  not;  but  what  I hate,  do I.  [16] If  then  I do  which  I would  not,  I consent  unto the law  that  it is good.  [17] Now  then  it is no more  that do  it,  but  sin  that dwelleth  in  [18] For  I know  that  in  flesh,)  dwelleth  no  good thing:  for  to will  is present  but  how to perform  that which is good  not.  [19] For  the good  that I would  I do  not:  but  the evil  which  I would  not,  I do.  [20] Now  if  I do  would  not,  that do  it,  but  sin  that dwelleth  in  [21] I find  then  a law,  that,  would  do  good,  evil  is present  [22] For  I delight  in the law  of God  after  the inward  man:  [23] But  I see  another  law  in  members,  warring against  the law  mind,  and  into captivity  to the law  of sin  which  in  members.  [24] O wretched  man  that I am!  who  shall deliver  from  the body  death?  [25] God  through  Jesus  Christ  Lord.  So then  with the mind  myself  serve  the law  of God;  but  with the flesh  the law  of sin.
