Romans 7:14

Internal Conflict With Sin

¹³ Therefore, [did that which is] good become death to me? May it never be! Rather [it was] sin, in order that it might be recognized [as] sin, producing death through [what is] good for me, in order that sin might become sinful to an extraordinary degree through the commandment. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, {sold into slavery to sin}. ¹⁵ For what I am doing I do not understand, because what I want [to do], this I do not practice, but what I hate, this I do.
