Romans 7:8-14

⁸But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of lust. For apart from the law sin was dead.

⁹For I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died.

¹⁰And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.

¹¹For sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it, killed me.

¹²Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy and righteous and good.

¹³Then has that which is good become death to me? By no means! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through that which is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.
