In context

¹⁹For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.

²⁰And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

²¹So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

²²For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.

²³But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
