Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
If then I do that which I would not--"But if what I would not that I do,"
I consent unto the law that it is good--"the judgment of my inner man going along with the law."
For, etc.--better, "For that which I do I know not"; that is, "In obeying the impulses of my carnal nature I act the slave of another will than my own as a renewed man?"
for, etc.--rather, "for not what I would (wish, desire) that do I, but what I hate that I do."
