If I do what is contrary to

my desire, I agree with

the Law that it is good.

However, it is no longer

I who do it, but sin

that dwells in me.

For I know that nothing

good dwells in me.

I can will what is right,

but have no power to

carry it out.

For I fail to do the good

that I desire to do.

On the other hand,

I wind up doing what

I do not want to do.

Now if I do what I do not

desire to do, it is no longer

I who do it, but sin that dwells

in me.

Consider this:

1) The inertia that is caused

by human nature.

2) Human nature likes to

take the path of least resistance.

3) Human nature causes failure.

We need God’s Holy Spirit to do right.
