Romans 7:18

Bible › Romans › Chapter 7 › Verse 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.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.
