18 For I know that nothing good dwells ^ain me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.

23 but I see in my members ^fanother law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.

20 Surely ^jthere is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

8 ^sIf we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and ^tthe truth is not in us.

23 but I see in my members ^fanother law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from ^gthis body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

17 For ^xthe desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, ^yto keep you from doing the things you want to do.
