Romans 7 : 3 (MKJV)

Romans 7 : 23 (MKJV)
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 being in my members.
Romans 7 : 24 (MKJV)
O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Romans 7 : 25 (MKJV)
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
