9 For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died.
10 And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death.
11 For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me.
12 So then the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Did then that which is good become fatal to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin by that which was good [in itself], was the cause of death to me; that sin through the commandment might become transcendantly sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do.
16 But if what I would not, that I do, I concur with the law that it is excellent.
17 Now then no more I do this, but sin dwelling in me.
18 For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 If then I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is presented to me.
22 For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man:
23 but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man, I! who shall pluck me from the body of this death?
