       We, as Christians, are still ‘of the flesh’ in that we still live, we still reside, in our fleshly bodies which still contains its sin-nature, it’s just that sin-nature is not in full control anymore unless we let it be. We don’t lose that part of us until we die or are Raptured, one or the other. That part, then is sold under sin; but our entire personhood is not sold under sin, not our new creation, just our flesh. Paul is continuing his focus, as he was at the beginning of this chapter, on speaking to and relating to Jewish Christians. Recall, he said in verse 1: “for I am speaking to those who know the law” (ESV). Next, Paul says, “For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me” (Romans 7:15-17, ESV).
