The War Within

15

For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

16

If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.

17

Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

18

For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.

19

For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.

20

Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.

21

I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.

22

For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:

23

But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.

24

O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death!

25

I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. Then I my selfe in my minde serue the Lawe of God, but in my flesh the lawe of sinne.
