Romans 7:21 in other translations
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

In context
18 For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.
19 For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.
20 Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.
21 I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.
22 For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:
23 But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death!
