Addendum on Romans 7
When it comes to interpreting who Paul intended the “I” or “wretched man” to represent in Rom. 7:7-25, there are four primary perspectives among theologians and scholars; that Paul is describing:
Himself as a present-day regenerate believer in his ongoing struggle against indwelling sin;
His personal experience as Saul of Tarsus prior to his conversion experience on the Damascus Road;
The history of Old Testament Israel in its strivings to achieve righteousness under the Law;
The experience of the whole human race in Adam locked into bondage to Sin and outside of the New Covenant in Christ.
The first two are individual interpretations, while in the second two the “I” is corporate—that is, Paul is role-playing; putting on the robe of Israel’s Prophets, such as Isaiah & Habakkuk before him, in personifying man’s collective condition outside of the New Covenant of grace.
Full disclosure—I favor either the third or fourth view, which is why none of the characteristics Paul uses in this section (e.g. “wretched man,” “sold into bondage under sin,” etc.) are listed as describing who we now are in Christ. They are included, but presented by implication as characteristic of who or what we were, but are no longer.
For further reading I suggest Robert Reymond’s paper Whom Does the Man in Romans 7:14-25 Represent for a balanced discussion of the various individual views, and Romans: The Divine Marriage by Tom Holland, a verse-by-verse exegesis of the Book of Romans from a corporate perspective.
