So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin.

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.

And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.

I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t.
I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong;
it is sin living in me that does it.

Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me
from this life that is dominated by sin and death?

Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is:
In my mind I really want to obey God’s law,
but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

Romans 7:14-20,25
