Romans 7:7-13 — The Law and Sin

Rom.7.7-13

⁷What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Yet I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known coveting if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” ⁸But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead. ⁹Now I was once alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. ¹⁰And the commandment that was meant for life proved to bring death to me. ¹¹For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. ¹²So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. ¹³Did what is good then become death to me? Certainly not! Rather, sin, in order to be shown as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
