Romans:7:7-12-14
nkjv@Romans:7:7 @ 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."
nkjv@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.
nkjv@Romans:7:9 @ I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
nkjv@Romans:7:10 @ And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.
nkjv@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.
nkjv@Romans:7:12 @ Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
