7.16 Quod enim operor. Probat, quod servus est peccati: quia quod operor secundum exteriorem dimittendo bona vel faciendo mala, intelligo secundum interiorem non esse operandum. Vere operor quod non intelligo, quia et dimitto bonum quod volo, et facio malum quod nolo. Non intelligo. Quia aliud video me per legem scire, et aliud agere. Non enim quod volo bonum, hoc ago; sed quod. Subjectus peccato, facit quod non vult. Facio. Concupisco, non quod post concupiscentiam Apostolus eat, et eum ad mala trahat: luctabatur, non subjugabatur: de se hoc tibi proponit, ne de hoc desperes in te.

7:16 συμφημι ¦ συνφημι WH
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
7:7-25 Well then (see study note on 6:1): Paul has just said some rather negative things about the law, and he now explains how God’s law is good in order to guard against any notion that it is evil in itself.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ & ὃ οὐ θέλω
if & what not ˱I˲_/am/_wanting
Paul is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might misunderstand and think that what Paul is saying is not certain, then you can translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “since what I do not want”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ὃ οὐ θέλω, τοῦτο ποιῶ
what not ˱I˲_/am/_wanting this ˱I˲_/am/_practicing
See how you translated the similar phrase in the previous verse.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
σύνφημι τῷ νόμῳ, ὅτι καλός
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ θέλω τοῦτο ποιῶ σύμφημι τῷ νόμῳ ὅτι καλός)
Here Paul is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “I agree with the law and thus confess that it is good”
