Romans 7:15
Romans 7:15 New International Version (NIV)
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
Romans 7:14-16 The Message (MSG)
I can anticipate the response that is coming: “I know that all God’s commands are spiritual, but I’m not. Isn’t this also your experience?” Yes. I’m full of myself—after all, I’ve spent a long time in sin’s prison. What I don’t understand about myself is that I decide one way, but then I act another, doing things I absolutely despise. So if I can’t be trusted to figure out what is best for myself and then do it, it becomes obvious that God’s command is necessary.
Romans 7:15 King James Version (KJV)
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Romans 7:15 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.
Romans 7:15 New Century Version (NCV)
I do not understand the things I do. I do not do what I want to do, and I do the things I hate.
Romans 7:15 American Standard Version (ASV)
For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.
Romans 7:15 New King James Version (NKJV)
For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.
Romans 7:15 Amplified Bible (AMP)
For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity].
Romans 7:15 New Living Translation (NLT)
I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.
