Romans 7:23-25

Romans 7:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible
23 So my mind tells me to obey God's laws. But my body wants to make me do something else. Every part of me fights against what my mind tells me to do. Sin has power over my body so that I am like a prisoner. 24 This makes me very sad! My body is leading me to death. I need someone to make me free from the power of sin over my body. 25 I thank God! He has made me free, because of what Jesus Christ has done.
So with my mind I want to obey God's laws. But, at the same time, I serve sin as my master, because I am weak and human.

Romans 7:23-25
New International Version
23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(A) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(B) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(C) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(D)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(E) but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin.(F)
