Romans 7
King James Version (KJV)
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 allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 Ref If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Ref Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that 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 how to perform that which is good I find 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.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
14 Ref for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
15 Ref for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.
16 Ref And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that `it is' good,
17 Ref and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,
18 Ref for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,
