For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
All Commentaries on Romans 7:14 Go To Romans 7
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
The will of the Spirit is one thing, that of the flesh is another. These two wills fight against each other and can never reach agreement. Man is carnal, but the law is spiritual. How then can the law ever become tolerable to those who struggle so hard against the sickness of sin? There is wisdom here, for if a man is carnal he is in some sense captive and reduced to the condition of slavery. .
