And what if Scripture tells you that you will never want to make the choice for the good?
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. - Romans 3:10-18
Some things never change:
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. - Genesis 6:5 (In other words, "all evil, all the time".)
Face it, we have already rejected God, we already have His judgment upon us, and we all deserve death and hell. It is only by His grace that He chooses to save any of us. Salvation is of the LORD - Jonah 2:9b

Paul is quoting from the Septugaint Psalms here. I don't have a version to see what context this Psalm was written in, but it's clear from Pauls use of it that he's using it to show that man is a sinful creature, which I don't think any Christian would deny. He's describing the general state of mankind, not establishing that we are incapable of submitting our will to God.

Agreed.
