Romans:7:7-11

*
What shall we say then ?
Is the law sin ?
Certainly not !
On the contrary ,
I would not have known sin except through the law .
For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said , "
You shall not covet ."
*
But sin ,
taking opportunity by the commandment ,
produced in me all manner of evil desire .
For apart from the law sin was dead .
*
I was alive once without the law ,
but when the commandment came ,
sin revived and I died .
*
And the commandment ,
which was to bring life ,
I found to bring death .
*
For sin ,
taking occasion by the commandment ,
deceived me ,
and by it killed me .
