On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It is not thus with every unregenerate man, but with those only that are convinced by the law, but not changed by the gospel. The apostle had said ( ch. vi. 14 ), Sin shall not have dominion, because you are not under the law, but under grace, for the proof of which he here shows that a man under the law, and not under grace, may be, and is, under the dominion of sin.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The commandment which was intended for life - Doubtless it was originally intended by God as a grand means of preserving and increasing spiritual life, and leading to life everlasting.
