The King James Version Bible

Romans 7:16-25

  1. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

  2. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

  3. 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.

  4. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

  5. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

  6. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

  7. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

  8. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

  9. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

  10. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
