Commentary for Romans 7:25

Wesley's Notes for Romans 7:25

7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord - That is, God will deliver me through Christ. But the apostle, as his frequent manner is, beautifully interweaves his assertion with thanksgiving;' the hymn of praise answering in a manner to the voice of sorrow, Wretched man that I am! So then - He here sums up the whole, and concludes what he began, #Rom 7:7|. I myself - Or rather that I, the person whom I am personating, till this deliverance is wrought. Serve the law of God with my mind - My reason and conscience declare for God. But with my flesh the law of sin - But my corrupt passions and appetites still rebel. The man is now utterly weary of his bondage, and upon the brink of liberty.


People's Bible Notes for Romans 7:25


Ro 7:25 I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him the deliverance comes. So then with the mind I myself I myself serve the law of God. I myself, that is, by myself and without Christ. In that state of mind delights in the law of God (Ro 7:22), but with the flesh the law of sin. But the flesh is devoted to the service of sin. Hence the struggle, the captivity, the bondage, the cry for deliverance. Hence the failure of the law to deliver, and the need of Christ. One of the best comments on the whole passage is Ga 5:16-18: "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh; for the desire of the flesh fights against the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit against the flesh, for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. But if ye are led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law".
