Romans 7:18
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
In context
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
17 In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
19 For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
20 And 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.
