Romans 7:9-24

Thomson(i) 9 Now as for me, I for a while was alive without law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 So I found the commandment which was for life, to be for death. 11 For sin having got an advantage by the commandment, seduced me, and by it slew me. 12 So that the law is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy, just and good. 13 Hath that then which is good been death to me? No, by no means. But sin, so that it appeared to be sin, continued working death for me by that which is good, so that sin appeared to be sin in the highest degree by the commandment. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but as for me, I being carnal, am sold to sin. 15 For what I am doing I do not allow; for that which I approve, I do not perform; but what I hate, that I do. 16 Now if I do that which I do not approve, I assent to the law that it is good: 17 and it is now not I myself, who do this, but sin which dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good doth not dwell. For to will is present with me, but the performance of what is good, I do not find. 19 For the good which I approve, I do not perform; but evil which I disapprove, this I do. 20 Now if I do that which I myself disapprove; it is no more I myself who do it; but sin which dwelleth in me. 21 I find then this law for me, that when I would do good, evil is close to me. 22 For in the inner man I am delighted with the law of God; 23 but I perceive another law in my members warring against the law of my mind and making me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me from this deathful body?
