Romans 7:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 Did the good, then, become death for me? Of course not! Sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin, worked death in me through the good, so that sin might become sinful beyond measure through the commandment.(A) 14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold into slavery to sin.(B) 15 What I do, I do not understand. For I do not do what I want, but I do what I hate.
