7 | What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. |
8 | But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. |
9 | For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. |
10 | And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. |
11 | For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. |
12 | Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. |
13 | Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. |
