Romans 7:20 Douay-Rheims

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

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

"For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and through sin condemned sin in the flesh " -not the flesh in sin, for the house is not to be condemned with its inhabitant. He said, indeed, that "sin dwelleth in our body." But the condemnation of sin is the acquittal of the flesh, just as its non-condemnation subjugates it to the law of sin and death.
