← Romans 7:22	Romans 7:23 (KJV)	Romans 7:24 →
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:	But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.	O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
