Video Notes:

• Wretched – in turmoil, in distress.
• There are a few interpretations of this text (as with the rest of 14-23).
  • The “I” is Adam.
  • The “I” is a non-believer coming to faith
  • The “I” is a believer confessing the day-to-day struggle with sin.
• Who will deliver me? – This is a rhetorical tactic to point to the answer of the question.
• From this body of death? – Paul is not seeking to be rid of a physical body, rather He looks to the redemption of his mortal body in a new, uncorrupted body.
• Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! – The answer to Paul’s rhetorical question. Where does our hope lie? Jesus Christ.
• Also, notice how the text shifts to “our” Lord, bringing all of us into the narrative.
• So then, I myself (emphatic) serve the Law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the Law of sin. – This is the reality of the Christian’s life until Christ returns. However, it continues in the sure knowledge and hope of Jesus, that God is saving him. 
• 1 Corinthians 15:57-58
