18. Formal Translation For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. |
18. Dynamic Translation For I know that nothing truly good lives in me—that is, in my own fleshly nature. I have the desire to do what is right, but I do not have the ability to carry it out. |
