Riverside(i)
9 I was living once, apart from law. But when the commandment came, sin began to live and I died,
10 and the commandment which meant life was found to mean death.
11 For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.
12 So the Law is holy and the commandment is holy and just and good.
13 Did then what is good become death to me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, worked death in me through the good, in order that it might become beyond measure sinful.
14 For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 For what I am doing I do not understand. For not what I choose is what I practice, but what I hate, this I do.
16 But if I do what I do not choose, I agree with the law that it is right.
17 And now it is no longer I that do it, but the Sin that dwells in me.

21 I find then this rule, when I choose to do the right, that evil is present with me.
22 I delight in the Law in my inner man,
23 but I see another law in my members, warring with the law of my mind and leading me captive under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me from this body of death?
