People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 7:8
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment. Strange a psychological
fact as it is, it is nevertheless true that to the carnal nature what
is forbidden seems especially desirable. Adam and Eve would hardly have
desired the forbidden fruit had it not been forbidden. When sinful
men's freedom is limited, he rages against the limitation. One of the
agnostic Ingersoll's pleas against the Divine government is that it is
a limitation of freedom.
Concupisence. Evil desire.
For without the law sin [was] dead. "Apart from law". There is no
article before "law". If there was no law to be broken, sin would be
quiescent, and would be lifeless. The restraint of law makes it spring
into vigorous life. Our carnal nature rebels whenever it is restrained.
