Romans 7:20
Romans 7:20 King James Version (KJV)
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:17-20 The Message (MSG)
But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time.
Romans 7:20 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
Romans 7:20 New Century Version (NCV)
So if I do things I do not want to do, then I am not the one doing them. It is sin living in me that does those things.

But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

But if I am doing the very thing I do not want to do, I am no longer the one doing it [that is, it is not me that acts], but the sin [nature] which lives in me.
Romans 7:20 New Living Translation (NLT)
But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
