Bible in Basic English

In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,

But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

“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? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. ”
