^{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.

^{19 Ref} For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.

^{20 Ref} But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

^{21 Ref} So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

^{22 Ref} In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,

^{23 Ref} But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

^{24 Ref} How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

^{25 Ref} I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.
