Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 7:14

"For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin." — Romans 7:14 (ASV)

But I am carnal, sold under sin.

I am carnal. There is the source of all the mischief—a disobedient and rebellious subject, not an irksome law. The law is good enough. It is absolutely perfect; but, says the apostle, I am carnal, — fleshly, — sold under sin.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal,

Fleshly.

Sold under sin.

Even now that I have become a Christian and am renewed by grace.
