Romans 7:22
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
अध्ययन टिप्पणी
Study Note
The confession 'I delight in the law of God after the inward man' has generated centuries of debate about the identity of the 'I' in Romans 7 — is this the pre-conversion, post-conversion, or an archetypal human under the law? The phrase 'inward man' (ho eso anthropos) parallels Ephesians 3:16 and 2 Corinthians 4:16, where it denotes the renewed inner life in Christ — suggesting that delight in the law belongs to regenerate experience. Yet the 'wretched man' lament that follows (7:24) suggests ongoing inner conflict not fully resolved. Regardless of the exact referent, the verse insists that authentic love for God's law is not alien to human experience — it is what the 'inward man' is created and renewed to do.
