ABU(i)
9 And I was alive without law once; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was for life, that I found to be for death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Has then that which is good become death to me? Far be it! But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good, that sin by the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For what I perform, I know not; for not what I desire, that do I; but what I hate, that I do.
16 But if what I desire not, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17 Now then, it is no longer I that perform it, but the sin that dwells in me.
18 For I know that there dwells not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good; for to desire is present with me; but to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I desire, I do not; but the evil that I desire not, that I do.
20 But if what I desire not, that I do, it is no more I that perform it, but the sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then the law, that, when I desire to do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man.
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?
