Romans 7:18-20

[18] For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.

[19] For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.

[20] Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. (ESV)
