From William R. Newell's Romans: Verse by Verse:
1. To 'hope to be better' is to fail to see yourself in Christ only
2. To be disappointed in yourself, is to have believed in yourself
3. To be discouraged is unbelief, as to God's purpose and plan for blessing for you
4. To be proud is to be blind! For we have no standing before God in ourselves
5. The lack of divine blessing, therefore, comes from unbelief, and not from failure of devotion
6. Real devotion to God arises, not from man's will to show it; but from the discovery that blessing has been recieved from God while we were yet unworthy and undevoted
