Romans 7:21-24

The Law and Sin

²¹ So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. ²² For _d I delight in the law of God, _e in my inner being, ²³ but I see in my members _f another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. ²⁴ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from _g this body of death?
