Romans 7:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³But I see another law working in me. It fights against the law of my mind. It makes me a prisoner of the law of sin. That law controls me. ²⁴What a terrible failure I am! Who will save me from this sin that brings death to my body? ²⁵I give thanks to God who saves me. He saves me through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So in my mind I am a slave to God’s law. But sin controls my desires. So I am a slave to the law of sin.
