Romans 7:16 Context
14For wee know that the Law is spirituall: but I am carnall, sold vnder sinne. 15For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that doe I. 16If then I doe that which I would not, I consent vnto the Law, that it is good. 17Now then, it is no more I that doe it: but sinne that dwelleth in me. 18For I know, that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. For to will is present with me: but how to performe that which is good, I find not.
