"For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise." — Romans 7:19 (ASV)
For the good that I would, I do not
The apostle here repeats what he had delivered in (Romans 7:15Romans 7:16) to strengthen and confirm this part of his experience; that though he had a will to that which was good, yet he wanted power, and had none of himself to perform; and therefore often did what he would not, and what he would he did not.
