Romans 7:21 in Context — Romans 7

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.

22 Car je prends plaisir à la loi de Dieu, selon l’homme intérieur;

23 mais je vois dans mes membres une autre loi, qui lutte contre la loi de mon entendement, et qui me rend captif de la loi du péché, qui est dans mes membres.
