In context
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but to do that which is good is not.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
20 But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man,
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
