Romans 7:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ I do not do the good things that I want to do. Instead, I continue to do the bad things that I do not want to do. ²⁰ So, when I do bad things that I do not want to do, it is not really I myself who do them. It is sin that causes me to do wrong things, because it has power in my life.

²¹ So I understand what is happening in me. Whenever I want to do something good, I can only choose something bad.
