Romans 7:19-8:3

New International Version

¹⁹ For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.^{(A) 20} Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.^(B)

²¹ So I find this law at work:^(C) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. ²² For in my inner being^(D) I delight in God’s law;^{(E) 23} but I see another law at work in me, waging war^(F) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin^(G) at work within me. ²⁴ What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?^{(H) 25} Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!^(I)

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,^(J) but in my sinful nature^[a] a slave to the law of sin.^(K)

Life Through the Spirit

8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation^(L) for those who are in Christ Jesus,^{(M) 2} because through Christ Jesus^(N) the law of the Spirit who gives life^(O) has set you^[b] free^(P) from the law of sin^(Q) and death. ³ For what the law was powerless^(R) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,^[c](S) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh^(T) to be a sin offering.^[d](U) And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
