For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to finish that which is good I find not.Gen 8:21

For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

For I delight in the law of God-The Father after the inward man:Psa 1:2; Eph 3:16

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.Jas 4:1; Gal 5:17
