“Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.”
King James Version (KJV)
7:18 In my flesh - The flesh here signifies the whole man as he is by nature.
7:21 I find then a law - An inward constraining power, flowing from the dictate of corrupt nature.
7:22 For I delight in the law of God - This is more than I consent to, #Rom 7:16|. The day of liberty draws near. The inward man - Called the mind, #Rom 7:23|,25.
Ro 7:20 Now if I do that which I would not, etc. This experience sustains Ro 7:17 and shows that sin had predominated over human nature and rules it. Sin controls, rather than good intentions. A man wills one thing and does another.
Now if I doe that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.
