Romans 7:21-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
So The Evil Inside Me Enslaves Me To The Law of Sin And Death In Me
21 I find then the law[a] in me, the one wanting to do the good, that the evil is present in me. 22 For I am rejoicing-with[b] the Law of God according-to[c] the inner person. 23 But I am seeing a different law in my body-parts waging-war-against[d] the law of my mind, and taking me captive[e] under the law of sin existing in my body-parts.

New International Version
21 So I find this law at work:(A) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(B) I delight in God’s law;(C) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(D) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(E) at work within me.
