Contextual Overview
14 For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne 15 because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I. 16 Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good. 17 So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me. 18 For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good. 19 For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not. 20 Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it. 21 I fynde then by the lawe that when I wolde do good evyll is present with me. 22 I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man. 23 But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
If then I do that which I would not,.... This is a corollary, or an inference from what he had related of his own experience; that since what he did, though it was contrary to the law of God, yet was what he did not will nor allow of, but hated, it must be a clear point, that he
consented to the law, that it was good; lovely and amiable; that it forbad those things which were hateful, and commanded those things which were desirable to a good man; and so is acknowledged to be a very beautiful rule of obedience, walk, and conversation.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I consent unto the law - The very struggle with evil shows that it is not loved, or approved, but that the Law which condemns it is really loved. Christians may here find a test of their piety. The fact of struggling against evil, the desire to be free from it, and to overcome it, the anxiety and grief which it causes, is an evidence that we do not love it, and that there. fore we are the friends of God. Perhaps nothing can be a more decisive test of piety than a long-continued and painful struggle against evil passions and desires in every form, and a panting of the soul to be delivered from the power and dominion of sin.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Romans 7:16. If then I do that which I would not, c.] Knowing that the law condemns it, and that therefore it must be evil. I consent unto the law I show by this circumstance that I acknowledge the law to be good.
