Romans 7:20
Romans 7:17-20 The Message (MSG)
But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time.
Romans 7:20 King James Version (KJV)
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
