Romans 7:23

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 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.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
