1 Kings 21:20

20. thou hast sold thyself to work evil—that is, allowed sin to acquire the unchecked and habitual mastery over thee (2Ki 17:17; Ro 7:11).

Romans 7:14

14. For we know that the law is spiritual—in its demands.

but I am carnal—fleshly (see on Ro 7:5), and as such, incapable of yielding spiritual obedience.
