Hi all:

Rom 7.21: hEURISKW ARA TON NOMON, TWi QELONTI EMOI POIEIN TO KALON, hOTI
EMOI TO KAKON PARAKEITAI

I think I would understand this sentence just fine if not for the use of
EMOI in TWi QELONTI EMOI POIEIN TO KALON. What is its relationship to TWi
QELONTI? It would seem to me that TWi QELONTI is in apposition to the EMOI
in the epexegetical hOTI clause: "So I find the principle that evil is
present in me, the one who wishes to do good." The first EMOI seems
superfluous and out of place. Any ideas?
