Romans 7:14 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For we know. — There is no need to argue the question. We Christians all know that the Law is spiritual. It is divinely given and inspired. On the other hand, man, though capable of communion with God, is dominated by that part of his nature which is the direct opposite of divine, and is entirely earthly and sensual. This sensual part of his nature is the slave — and just as much the slave as if he had been sold in the auction mart — of Sin. (Comp. 1 Kings 21:20; 1 Kings 21:25.)

Romans 7:14

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
