Romans 7
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
14 Ref For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 Ref For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Ref But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Ref So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.
18 Ref For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good `is' not.
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
14 Ref For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.
15 Ref And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.
16 Ref But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.
17 Ref So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.
18 Ref For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.
