Romans 7:21 Context
19For the good that I would, I do not: but the euill which I would not, that I doe. 20Now if I doe that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sinne that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a Law, that when I would do good, euil is present with me. 22For I delight in the Lawe of God, after the inward man. 23But I see another Lawe in my members, warring against the Lawe of my minde, and bringing me into captiuity to the Law of sinne, which is in my members.
