For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
All Commentaries on Romans 7:22 Go To Romans 7
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Paul says that the mind delights in the things which are taught by the law. This is “our inmost self,” because sin does not dwell in the mind but in the flesh…. It is prevented from dwelling in the mind by free will. Therefore sin dwells in the flesh, at the door of the soul as it were, so as to prevent the soul from doing what it wants to do. If it dwelt in the mind it would derange it, so that man would not know himself. As it is, he does know himself and takes delight in the law of God. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
