The War Within

15

for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

16

And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good,

17

and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

18

for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

19

for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

20

And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

21

I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

22

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

23

and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that is in my members.

24

A wretched man I am ! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

25

I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
