You may be thinking of the passage that begins at Romans 7:15 - For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.Paul's train of thought continues to the end of the chapter (v.25), and he's talking about the constant battle between a Christian's spiritual nature, which desires to unselfishly be and do good (the "will"), and the physical nature, which insists on pleasing itself (the "flesh"). The passage expands on Jesus' statement at Matthew 26:41 - "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Paul also asks "Why do you..." questions of his readers in Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 4:7 and 6:7; and Galatians 2:14.
