Romans 7:16 in other translations
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

In context
13 Was that then which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me: that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will: but the evil which I hate, that I do.
16 If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will is present with me: but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.
19 For the good which I will, I do not: but the evil which I will not, that I do.
