Romans 7:24-25

24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

body — physical body, the instrument of sin.

Paul doesn’t ask “What shall I do?, but “Who shall deliver me?”

I thank God — Paul’s answer to the question in verse 24. The Lord will deliver us when He returns and our bodies are redeemed.

law of God and law of sin — the stress is on the nature of each law.
