Romans 7:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ But does this mean that what is good caused my death? By no means! It was sin that did it; by using what is good, sin brought death to me, in order that its true nature as sin might be revealed. And so, by means of the commandment sin is shown to be even more terribly sinful.

The Conflict in Us

¹⁴ We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a mortal, sold as a slave to sin. ^15 (A)I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate.
