- And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. (New Living Translation)
- For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.] (Amplified Bible)
- 17-20 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. (The Message)
- I know there is nothing good in my sinful nature. I want to do what is good, but I can’t. (New International Reader's Version)
