14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

*God expects more out of me that I do.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

*Sometimes I act a fool but that ain't me.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

*I ain't mad when I the cops bust me.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

*I ain't bad, I'm just drawn this way.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

*Sometimes I'm ignorant for weeks.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

*Uhh.. what?

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

*So.. not my fault? Or what? Speak English!

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

So.. no good deed goes unpunished? Speak English!

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

Uhhh.. Ok.

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Yeah, I got some arthritis.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Ibuprofen. Naproxen Sodium too.

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Thanks, indeed. But how you figure I've sinned?

Best translation and answers I was able to look up on the intarwebs.
