16. But if I do what I do not wish, I agree with the Torah that it is good.
17. And now, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me.
18. For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to work the good I do not find.
19. For the good that I wish to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not wish to do, this I practise.
20. And if I do that which I do not wish, it is no longer I who work it, but the sin dwelling in me.
