“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells;

for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

For the good that I will to do, I do not do;

but the evil I will not to do, that I practise.

Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it,

but sin that dwells in me.”
