16 Y si lo que no quiero, esto hago, apruebo que la ley es buena.

17 De manera que ya no obro aquello, sino el pecado que mora en mí.

18 Y yo sé que en mí (es á saber, en mi carne) no mora el bien: porque tengo el querer, mas efectuar el bien no lo alcanzo.

19 Porque no hago el bien que quiero; mas el mal que no quiero, éste hago.

20 Y si hago lo que no quiero, ya no lo obro yo, sino el pecado que mora en mí.
