NSB(i)
9 I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death.
11 For sin, finding occasion, through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13 Did that which is good become death to me? God forbid! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good. This way sin might be shown to be sin. Through the commandment sin could be recognized.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am fleshly and sold under sin.
15 I do not understand what I am doing. For what I want to do I do not do. What I hate, I do.
16 But if what I do not want to do, I do, I consent to the law that it is right.
17 Now then it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
18 I know that good does not live in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it.
19 I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.
20 If I do what I do not want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it. Instead, it is the sin that lives in me.
21 I find that this law is at work. When I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have.
22 My inner person delights in the law of God.
23 However I see a different law at work in my body. This law fights against the law that my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin that is at work in my body.
24 Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death?
