For I do not do the good that I want to do. But instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.

And so, I discover the law, by wanting to do good within myself, though evil lies close beside me.

Unhappy man that I am, who will free me from this body of death?

The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord! Therefore, I serve the law of God with my own mind; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
