Romans 7:25 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord — That is, God will deliver me through Christ. But the apostle, as his frequent manner is, beautifully interweaves his assertion with thanksgiving;' the hymn of praise answering in a manner to the voice of sorrow, "Wretched man that I am!" So then — He here sums up the whole, and concludes what he began, Romans 7:7. I myself — Or rather that I, the person whom I am personating, till this deliverance is wrought. Serve the law of God with my mind — My reason and conscience declare for God. But with my flesh the law of sin — But my corrupt passions and appetites still rebel. The man is now utterly weary of his bondage, and upon the brink of liberty.
