American Standard Version
"I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. "
— Romans 7:21, American Standard Version
“I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.”
“I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.”
“So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.”
“I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.”
“So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.”
“I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.”
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not.
For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.
But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.
I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
