Goodspeed(i)
15 I do not understand what I am doing, for I do not do what I want to do; I do things that I hate.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I acknowledge that the Law is right.
17 In reality, it is not I that do these things; it is sin, which has possession of me.
18 For I know that nothing good resides in me, that is, in my physical self; I can will, but I cannot do what is right.
19 I do not do the good things that I want to do; I do the wrong things that I do not want to do.
20 But if I do the things that I do not want to do, it is not I that am acting, it is sin, which has possession of me.
21 I find the law to be that I who want to do right am dogged by what is wrong.
22 My inner nature agrees with the divine law,
23 but all through my body I see another principle in conflict with the law of my reason, which makes me a prisoner to that law of sin that runs through my body.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who can save me from this doomed body?
25 Thank God! it is done through Jesus Christ our Lord! So mentally I am a slave to God's law, but physically to the law of sin.
