O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
All Commentaries on Romans 7:24 Go To Romans 7
Jerome
AD 420
Paul uses the term “the body of death” because the body is subject to vices and sickness, disorders and death until it rises in glory with Christ, and what was once fragile clay is purified in the fire of the Holy Spirit into a very solid rock, changing its glory, not its nature.
