--

For we intuitively know that the law is logical, but I, on my part, am fleshly, having been sold under the sin [nature].

--

For that which I (old nature) work out, I (new nature) do not experientially know, for that which I (new nature) do not desirously will, this I (old nature) practice, but that which I (new nature) am indifferent to, this I (old nature) do.

--

But since that which I (new nature) do not desirously will, this I (old nature) do, I (new nature) together say with the law that [the law is] proper.

--

But now I (new nature), on my part, no longer work it out for myself, but the dwelling in me sin [nature].

--

For I (new nature) intuitively know that dwelling in me, that is in my flesh, is no good.

For the desirous will is present with me (new nature), but the working out of the proper, it is not found.

--

For not that which I (new nature) desirously will, to do good, but that bad which I (new nature) do not desirously will, this I (old nature) practice.

--

But since that which I (new nature) do not desirously will, this I (old nature) do, it is no longer I (new nature) working out it, but the sin [nature] residing in me.
