15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
15 For G1063 that which G3739 I do G2716 I allow G1097 not: G3756 for G1063 what G3739 I would, G2309 that G5124 do I G4238 not; G3756 but G235 what G3739 I hate, G3404 that G5124 do I. G4160
15 For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.
15 for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.
15 For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
15 For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
15 And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Observe in particular,
Rom 7:14-25
Here is a description of the conflict between grace and corruption in the heart, between the law of God and the law of sin. And it is applicable two ways:-
