Which Bible translation is the St. Paul quote at the top from? The first sentence matches the Phillips translation (that I just learned about) but the rest doesn’t.
I ask because (in the context of akrasia) I’ve seen that quote a lot, but never in the very modern, common-language phrasing you’ve given. I checked the more contemporary translations and couldn’t find it in those either.

It’s a paraphrase.
The great thing about foreign-language sources is that you can paraphrase at will when quoting.
I think you should mention it’s your translation.
