Godbey's Commentary - Acts - Romans - Enter His Rest

therefore, I myself with the mind serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.” This
observation in recapitulatory, giving a general comprehensive nutshell statement of the uniform
experience of humanity under the administration of mediatorial grace. “Mind” here means the
spiritual impartment, enlightened by the Holy Ghost and conservative of our allegiance to the law
of God; while “flesh” is used in its general sense of depravity, whose constant trend is earthward,
sinward, and Satanward, conservatively to the “law of sin.”
