15For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
16But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that it is right.
17Now then it is no longer *I* that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
18For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not.
19For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.
20But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, it is no longer *I* that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
21I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there.

25I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then *I* *myself* with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.
