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.

World English Bible (WEB)

14 Ref For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

15 Ref For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

16 Ref But if what I don't desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

17 Ref So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

18 Ref For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

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.
