^{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.

^{19 Ref} For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

^{20 Ref} But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

^{21 Ref} I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
