Romans 7:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ [^LFor] I do not do the good things I want to do, but I do the ·bad [evil] things I do not want to do. ²⁰ So if I do things I do not want to do, then I am not the one doing them. It is sin living in me that does those things.

²¹ So I ·have learned this rule [or find this principle/law at work]: When I want to do good, evil is ·there with me [present within me; close at hand].
