Romans 7:24
O wretched man that I am! Wretched because he has no power in
himself of deliverance.
Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? He is a captive,
a captive to the body, the members of which are controlled by sin.
Hence, he is a helpless slave of sin, and as such is under the
condemnation of death. The body, the seat of the fleshly desires, has
become "a body of death", since it is controlled by sin. Who shall
deliver him from its power? In Romans 7:14-24 Paul has described the
bondage of the will to the flesh which is the condition of the natural
man, and closes with the cry for deliverance.
