"I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present."
— Romans 7:21, World English Bible
“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. ”
“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, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.
For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.
But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
For I delight in God's law 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.
What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
