Romans 7:5-13 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins were working in our body-parts (through the law) in order to bear fruit to death.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins were working in our body-parts (through the law) in order to bear fruit to death. ⁶ But now we have been released from the law, having died to what we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of a document. ⁷ What will we say then? The law is sin? May it not happen! Yet I did not know sin except through law. For likewise I would not have known lust, if the law did not say, Thou shall not covet. ⁸ But sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me every evil desire, for apart from law sin is dead. ⁹ And I was alive once apart from law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. ¹⁰ And I found to me, the commandment being for life, this is for death. ¹¹ For sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. ¹² So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. ¹³ Has therefore what is good become death to me? May it not happen! Instead, it is sin, so that it might be revealed, sin working death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful to extreme.
