By the body of Christ. We are to receive Gods testimony from the Apostle, and believe it on Gods authority; and every Christian knows, by painful experience, the truth of all that the Apostle asserts. In this way Paul describes himself, Philippians 3, as having formerly served, when he had confidence in the flesh, as he there designates such outward service. Such a feeling no unregenerate man ever possessed. In another place, addressing those at Ephesus, whom he describes as quickened together with Christ, and including himself, whilst speaking in the character of an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, he uses the following unequivocal and energetic language For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. He therefore calls on those to whom he wrote to take the whole armor of God, that they may be able to withstand and to quench the fiery darts of the wicked one, Ephesians 6:12. Romans 7:1-6 Released from the Law by Death The Apostle Paul uses the comparison of being married until death parts them and they are legally free to remarry to that of being freed from the law and the penalty of it because “the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives” (Rom 7:1b). The problem is not the Law, but sin. It was not the good law that wrought death in him, but sin by means of the good law. He hath made it the inviolable law of His kingdom. Few are willing to believe that all mankind are naturally so bad as they are here represented, and it is fondly imagined that the best of men to much better than this description would prove them to be. Dead to the law means freedom from the power of the law, as having endured its curse and satisfied its demands. Paul uses marriage to teach them this lesson. The original word for lust signifies strong desire, whether good or bad. Does not this describe a conflict equally severe as that in which, in the passage before us, he represents himself to be engaged? This is the glory of the law, and shows that it proceeds from the Giver of every good and perfect gift from Him who alone is good. I was alive without the law.. But, in the sense of the word in this place, all Christians the best on earth not excepted are always carnal. Before the coming of Christ, those who relied on the promise concerning Him, likewise partook of all the blessings of the marriage union with Him, and were therefore admitted to heavenly glory, though, as to their title to it, not made perfect ( Hebrews 12:23) till He died under the law, and put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. [Marriage is not in the Greek of this verse.] This may be perverted by the opposer of Divine truth into a handle against the Gospel, and by the hypocrite to excuse his sin. It was therefore sin that dwelt in him the old man, his carnal nature, which not only existed and wrought in him, but had its abode in him, as it has in all those who are regenerated, and will have so long as they are in the body. The Law is not sin, but rather makes known sin (7) 2. For in this (tabernacle) we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house, which is from heaven. And in chapter 8:23, where he says, Ourselves also which have the first fruits of the Spirit; even we ourselves groan within ourselves., It was, then, to confirm the faith of the disciples, and furnish a living exhibition of their spiritual conflict, that Paul here lays open his own heart, and discloses the working of those two warring principles, which to a greater or less extent contend for the mastery in the bosom of every child of God. If the law is holy, and just, and good, how could it be found by the Apostle to be unto death? (1-6) The use and excellence of the law. Chapter Contents. Relation of Believers to the Law and to Christ ( Romans 7:1-6). It can be difficult to understand on our own… and even more difficult to teach to others! This is a Bible study given by His Grace Bishop Youssef on Romans chapter 7. They have an evil principle in their hearts or nature. The Law requires actions which are spiritual, as our mind and conscience tells us. Is not this the experience of every Christian? Only as long as he lives. And every regenerate man, the more he is convinced of sin, which in his natural state never disturbed his thoughts, the more he advances in the course of holiness, and the more nearly he approaches to the image of his Divine Master, the more deeply will he groan under the more vivid conception and the stronger abhorrence of the malignity of his indwelling sin. If you find it hard to get to a church or a regular bible study night, we're trying to make it easier for you to have access a group study. 6:16; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19. In the same way as bringing forth fruit unto God is spoken of in the 4th verse, so here the Apostle speaks of bringing forth fruit unto death, that is, doing works which issue in death. I myself was once alive. It was on a ground very different from that of his own obedience, that Paul, when about to depart from the world, joyfully exclaimed, Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give me at that day. Yes, it will be a crown of righteousness, because Christ, having been made of God unto him wisdom, Paul had renounced his own righteousness, that so being found in Him he might possess the righteousness which is of God by faith. He was therefore covered with the robe of righteousness, even the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Jehovah our righteousness, who is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. In the midst of his apostolic labors, where he is endeavoring to animate those to whom he wrote, Paul represents himself engaged as here in the same arduous struggle. But this is not the ground of obedience; and those who have endeavored to place the foundation of morals on the principle of utility, or of the happiness of the many, have only proved their shortsighted ignorance, and verified the declaration of Scripture, professing themselves to be wise, they become fools.. 3. It was by having his attention turned to this inward working of sin, when, as he says, the commandment came, that he was convinced he was a sinner. Is there not a constant struggle of the corruptions of the heart against the principle of holiness implanted by the Spirit of God in the new birth? But his reasons are without weight. Some suppose that what the Apostle says in this verse is to the same purpose with the noted heathen confession, Video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor. What was most meaningful to you from the last lesson on Romans 6? Mr. Stuart translates the word desire, but neither is this correct. Romans 8:1 All his instructions to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus proceed on the same principle. Ver. But the followers of Jesus Christ are now dead when it comes to Jewish law and can follow the law set down by Jesus. 7. Sold under sin. But sin takes occasion by the commandment to lead one to death (8-12) B. Not fatal to the sinner, but fatal to his view of salvation by the law. That is in my flesh. That is, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, Hebrews 10:10. 5 however, when someone, without working, puts faith in the one who justifies the godless, it is this faith that is reckoned as uprightness.. 6 David, too, says the same: he calls someone blessed if God attributes uprightness to that person, apart from any action undertaken: 7. Without law, sin would have no strength to kill men, since sin is the violation of law. While her husband is alive. This is not, as Dr. Macknight supposes, an objection in the person of a Jew, but an objection put by the Apostle himself, which was likely to occur to every carnal man in every age. Ver. 4:171, and 1-41. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect. How, then, are these expressions, carnal, sold under sin, inapplicable to the Apostle? The sin that lives in us: (1) interferes with the good we would like to do; (2) like some evil spirit, it tries to destroy our spiritual nature; (3) tries to control us and take us to death (Romans 7:24). For I had not known lust. f38 The warfare between the flesh and the spirit, described in this chapter, has greatly exercised the ingenuity of men not practically acquainted with its truth. Man here is not man as distinguished from woman, but man including both men and women, denoting the species. Mr. Stuart endeavors to aggravate this description in such a manner as to render it unsuitable to the regenerate man. What has an unrenewed man but flesh? And why were they cautioned by him even against the grossest sins, but because there was still in them a principle disposed to every sin? Though it harassed him much, he did not walk according to it; but, being now in the spirit, the new nature which he had received predominated. Serving in the oldness of the letter, respects such service as the law, by its light, authority, and terror, can procure from one who is under it, and seeking life by it, without the Spirit of God, and His sanctifying grace and influence. The promises God had made to Abraham came through the Spirit, not through the flesh. H ere is a Bible study on Romans chapter six that I hope can help you better understand this crucial chapter in the Book of Romans.. Romans 6:1-4 Dead to Sin. For man, while he continues like himself, whatever his character may be, is justly considered to be vicious. No one can disclaim sin, as in this verse it is disclaimed, except the converted man; for who besides can conscientiously and intelligibly affirm, Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me?. Ver. There he asserts that the evil which he did was caused by sin dwelling in him. Now, if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I was alive. This assertion, we know, is the usual form under which Paul states what needs no proof. 1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? But when this Apostle, whose life was spent in laboring for the glory of God; when he, whose blameless conduct was such as to confound his enemies who sought occasion against him; when he, who finished his course with joy, having fought a good fight, and kept the faith; when he, whose conscience enabled him to look back with satisfaction on the past, and forward with joy to the future; when he, who stood ready to receive the crown of righteousness which, by the eye of faith, he beheld laid up for him in heaven, when one so favored, so distinguished, as the great Apostle of the Gentiles, is himself constrained, in turning his eye inward upon the rebellious strivings of his old nature, to cry out, O wretched man that I am! what a wonderful exhibition do we behold of the malignity of that sin, which has so deeply poisoned and corrupted our original nature, that death itself is needful in order to sever its chains and destroy its power in the soul! C. The purpose and character of the law. It is not "Paul the free-man" who sins, but "Paul the slave to sin." ... Romans Chapter 7: HTML Format: Acrobat Format: Romans Chapter 8 (part 1) HTML Format: Acrobat Format: Romans Chapter 8 (part 2) HTML Format: Acrobat Format: Romans Chapter 9: His very reason and conscience are defiled, Titus 1:15. In my case brought death. It is the expression, as formerly noticed, by which the Apostle usually intimates his abhorrence of whatever is peculiarly unworthy of God. There was spirit in him, but there was also flesh, and in his flesh he tells us dwelt no good thing: it was still sin or corrupt nature, and nothing but sin. As, in the concluding part of that chapter, he had shown by his exhortations to duty, that, by affirming that they were dead to sin he did not mean that they were exempt from its commission, so, in the concluding part of this chapter, he shows, by detailing his own experience, that he did not mean that by their being dead to the law they were exempt from its violation. How can the greatest of the apostles characterize himself, and by extension, all Christians, as “unspiritual,” a “slave to sin” and a “prisoner of the law of sin”? So far from the law being sinful, I had not known sin, says the Apostle, but by the law. 3. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein were held; that we should serve in newness of sprit, and not in the holiness of the letter. The law never proposed such a thing, and therefore ceasing to look for such an effect is not a deliverance from the law. So I am not really the one. Had not the Lord interposed to prevent his faith from entirely failing, Satan would have taken full possession of him, as he did of Judas. And to prevent such an inference from his words, he explains by a parenthesis the sense in which he asserts that no good thing dwelt in him. Answer: Romans 7:14–25 is a passage that has caused some confusion among Bible students because of the strong language Paul uses to describe himself. Did Paul call upon other saints to put off the old man, and was there not in him an old man? God's word of command to Adam and Eve called their attention to the forbidden fruit. It is not, then, to extenuate the evil of sin, or to furnish an excuse for it, that Paul says, It is no more I, but sin that dwelleth in me; but to show that, notwithstanding his seeing it to be evil, and hating it, the root still subsisted in him, and was chargeable upon him. In the 5th verse Paul had described the effect of the law on himself and those whom he addressed before conversion, while he and they were under its dominion. Till the commandment came home to him in its spiritual application, sin was never brought to such a test as to make a discovery to Paul of its real power. We found this gem of a commentary set: Teaching the Bible … Nor does it contradict his affirmation that sin should not have dominion over them; for, notwithstanding the struggle he describes, proving the power of the law of sin in his flesh, he asserts that with his mind he serves the law of God; while he expresses his conviction that even from that power of indwelling sin God would finally deliver him. Romans 7:1-25. The flesh lusted against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, and these were contrary the one to the other.. https://www.studylight.org/commentaries/ice/romans-7.html. B. Analogy Of Marriage - Romans 7:2, 3 According to law, a woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive. In contrast to the old life, we have a new life in the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:6) which only our possession of the Spirit makes possible (1 Corinthians 2:13-15; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; Romans 8:1-4). It is not possible. 25. Employing, as he does, through the whole of this passage, the present tense, Paul does not say, I have served, as referring to his state of unregenerate, but I serve, as respecting his present state as a believer in Christ, composed of flesh and spirit, which, as they are different principles, regard two different laws. He was sold under sin as a child of the first Adam, and he delighted in the law of God as a child of the second Adam. Ver. That the law is the occasion of sin, or, as Mr. Stuart expresses it, though not the sinful or efficient cause of sin, is no exception to the universal denial in any point of view. "Bound" means to be "tied" (when two people are married they are tied together for life; they are bound together until death parts And, as a matter of fact, if the evil principle of our nature prevails in exciting one evil thought, it has taken us captive. No deliverance from its curse but by Jesus Christ, Romans 7:… When the commandment came. Accordingly, through the whole of this passage to the end of the chapter, Paul describes himself as a twofold person, and points to two distinct natures operating within him. Brethren is an appellation whereby Paul designates all Christians, Gentiles as well as Jews, and by which, in the tenth chapter, he distinguishes them from the unbelieving Jews. God forbid. Isaac was the son of promise. 8. There is then no ground whatever for denying that he here related his own personal experience, according to the plain literal, and obvious import of the expressions he employs. Was then that which is good made death unto me? Christ lays His hand upon us, and we are healed. It may have been when Christ said, "I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute," that Paul first realized that "Christ has brought the Law to an end," and he died. 9. + Text Size —. I delight, says the Psalmist, to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my heart. I will delight myself in Thy commandments, which I love, Psalm 40:8, <19B916> 119:16, 24, 35, 47, 92, 97, 174. A believer serves God from such principles, dispositions, and views, as the Spirit of God implants in hearts which He renews. The law had no help to give the sinner. 7 Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? From Verse 1, how do you have “peace with God”? <19B932> Psalm 119:32. In both verses the original word indicates our natural inclination to sin, and not voluntary sinful acts not sins produced, which are the acts proceeding from lust, but our innate and vicious propensity to sin producing those acts. 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. The law demands what is equitable, and due to God, and nothing more, and what is just and equitable in regard to man; and a just law could demand no less. If we (Apostle or others) say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us, 1 John 1:8. The church is Christ's bride, however, here he speaks of the individual person being made to BELONG to Christ. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. We are said not to know a person whom we do not choose to recognize. Compare what Paul says in Galatians 5:16-18. I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. The language, accordingly, of the law, as the covenant of works, is, Do and live; or, If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments; and Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them. It thus requires perfect obedience as the condition of life, and pronounces a curse on the smallest failure. It is no exception to the assertion that the law is not the cause of sin, to say that it is the occasion of sin. Ver. If during his lifetime she has a sexual relationship w/another man, the Law of marriage condemns her as an adulteress, broken the law. And why is it that into the region beyond this he does not advance? Had it not been so, it might have been unlawful to become a second time a wife or a husband. He has not been convinced of sin by the spirit of God; he is not one of those who, like the Apostle Paul, are forced to confess, We that are in this tabernacle do groan, 2 Corinthians 5:2,4; or to say, We ourselves also which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves, groan within ourselves, Romans 8:23. But in both cases he speaks of a severe contest with an enemy within, striving to bring him into captivity to sin and death. Hence the Apostle Peter, in addressing believers, speaks of them as partakers of the Divine nature. The motions of sins, or affections or feelings of sins. As if to render it altogether impossible to imagine that the Apostle was personating another man, he here, in conclusion, uses the expression I myself, which cannot, if language has a meaning, be applied to another person. Ver. I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee: wherefore I abhor myself in dust and ashes, Job 40:4, 42:5, 6. My soul, says the Psalmist, in the same Psalm in which he so often asserts that he delights in the law of God, my soul cleaveth unto the dust; while in the preceding sentence he had declared, Thy testimonies also are my delight: and again, I will delight myself in Thy commandments, which I have loved; O how I love Thy law! This parenthesis appears to imply that, as they were acquainted with the nature of law, they must in the sequel be convinced of the truth of the explanations he was about to bring under their notice; and in this manner he bespeaks their particular attention. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, Psalm 1:1. When using these study sheets it is best to use a King James Version Bible in order to avoid confusion. All such shall, according to its original appointment, enjoy everlasting life. None but the regenerate man is properly sensible of this law. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? Proverbs 20:9. For when we lived. As this sally of gratitude, however, interrupts, he adds, the course of the argument, and is quite involuntary, inasmuch as Paul meant still to draw his inference from all that he had previously said, he finds himself compelled, in a way not the most appropriate, after the expression of his gratitude, still to append the conclusion, which is intended briefly and distinctly to show the state of the legalist. Can any Christian be satisfied with this manner of treating the Scriptures? It entirely suits the Christian, and not in one solitary feature does it wear the feeblest semblance of any other character. The Paperback Bible presents the Bible by the Book and is designed to be portable, readable, and truly personal with ample margins for notations. This proves that it is of himself, as to his present state, that the Apostle speaks. Ver. Their disputes and envying showed their attainments in the Divine life to be low. He may dislike the evil effects of sin, and consequently wish that he had not committed it; but he does not, as the Apostle here declares of himself, hate sin. (Rom 7:1-3) The law has authority only over the living. But sin. Paul next proceeds plainly to show what might be inferred from the preceding chapter. Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? In Romans 7:5 Paul said that the Law stirred up sinful desires. The more sensitive we are, the more do we feel pain; and the more our hearts are purified, the more painful to us will sin be. 11 because sin, finding its opportunity by means of the commandment, beguiled me and, by means of it, killed me.. 12 So then, the Law is holy, and what it commands is holy and upright and good. He may be sensible of misery, and he may be filled with anxious fears and dreadful foreboding; but the person here described is wretched only from a sense of the evil principle which is in his members. 15. Certainly it is. With carnality, then the corruption of his nature Paul the Apostle was chargeable; and of this, at all times after his conversion, he was fully sensible.
