Romans 7:24

Romans 7:24 Wretched man that. am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? "Wretched man" -5005. talaiporos tal-ah'-ee-po-ros; from the base of 5007 and. derivative of the base of 3984; enduring trial, i.e. miserable: -wretched. 'Involved in the word is "toil, hard work, burdensome labors". Moses Lard translates, "Toil worn man am I". He's tired with toiling. He's. loser and he sighs for. deliverer.'

Originally, wretched through the exhaustion of hard labor. (Vincent p. 84)

"Who shall deliver me" -by crying for. deliverer from all of it Paul admits that he himself is not able to win the battle. It is difficult to convert someone who doesn't see themselves as. sinner and as one who has lost the battle with sin.

"body of this death"- Paul's body had been the instrument of sin (Romans 7:23; Romans 6:19; 1 Timothy 1:13). His body couldn't keep up with the Law's demand of flawlessness. Hence it was. body was brought upon him spiritual death, and would result in eternal death, unless someone delivered him.
