Romans 7:19 in Context — Romans 7

17 Et maintenant ce n’est plus moi qui le fais, mais c’est le péché qui habite en moi.

18 Ce qui est bon, je le sais, n’habite pas en moi, c’est-à-dire dans ma chair: j’ai la volonté, mais non le pouvoir de faire le bien.

19 Car je ne fais pas le bien que je veux, et je fais le mal que je ne veux pas.

20 Et si je fais ce que je ne veux pas, ce n’est plus moi qui le fais, c’est le péché qui habite en moi.

21 Je trouve donc en moi cette loi: quand je veux faire le bien, le mal est attaché à moi.
