I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate... In fact, it is no longer i that do it, but sin that dwells within me. For i know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.
