Romans 7:8-14

⁸And through occasion taken, sin by the commandment hath wrought in me all covetousness; for without the law, sin was dead.

⁹And I lived without the law sometime; but when the commandment was come or had come, sin lived again. But I was dead,

¹⁰and this commandment that was to life, was found to me, to be to death.

¹¹For sin, through occasion taken by the commandment, deceived me, and by that it slew me.

¹²Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, and just, and good.

¹³Is then that thing that is good, made death to me? God forbid. But sin, that it seem sin, through good thing wrought death to me, that me or that men sin over-manner through the commandment.

¹⁴And we know, that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
