NASB
"I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good."
— Romans 7:21, NASB
“I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.”
“I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. ”
“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 nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.
But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.
For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,
but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.
Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
