Romans 7 — Context

So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.

But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.

Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
