Romans 7:10-18
-
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
-
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
-
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
-
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
-
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
-
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
-
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
-
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
-
18 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.
