Bible verse
But 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.
Romans 7:23 · BSB
The verses around it, from Romans 7.
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.
21 So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
23 But 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.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
