## Romans 7:15-23 in Context (Verses 12–25 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/romans/7/12) Wherefore the law *is* holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/romans/7/13) Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/romans/7/14) For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/romans/7/15) For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/romans/7/16) If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that *it is* good.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/romans/7/17) Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/romans/7/18) For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but *how* to perform that which is good I find not.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/romans/7/19) For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/romans/7/20) Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/romans/7/21) I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/romans/7/22) For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/romans/7/23) But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/romans/7/24) O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
 
 [25 ](/kjv/romans/7/25) I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
