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.
21. I find therefore this law, that when I wish to do the good, that the evil is present with me.
22. For I delight in the Torah of Elohim according to the inward man,
23. but I see another law in my members, battling against the Torah of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
