Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
I find then a Law, that when I would do good, euil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
