Romans 7:5-13 For when we were in the flesh , the motions of sins , which were by the law , did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

5 G1063 For G3753 when G2258 we were [G5713] G1722 in G4561 the flesh G3804 , the motions G266 of sins G3588 , which G1223 were by G3551 the law G1754 , did work [G5710] G1722 in G2257 our G3196 members G1519 to bring G2592 forth fruit [G5658] G2288 unto death.

6 G1161 But G3570 now G2673 we are delivered [G5681] G575 from G3551 the law G599 , that being dead [G5631] [G5625] G599 [G5631] G1722 wherein G3739 G2722 we were held [G5712] G5620 ; that G2248 we G1398 should serve [G5721] G1722 in G2538 newness G4151 of spirit G2532 , and G3756 not G3821 in the oldness G1121 of the letter.

7 G5101 What G2046 shall we say [G5692] G3767 then G3551 ? Is the law G266 sin G3361 ? God forbid G1096 [G5636] G235 . Nay G1097 , I had G3756 not G1097 known [G5627] G266 sin G1508 , but G1223 by G3551 the law G1063 : for G5037 G1492 I had G3756 not G1492 known [G5715] G1939 lust G1508 , except G3551 the law G3004 had said [G5707] G1937 , Thou shalt G3756 not G1937 covet [G5692] .

8 G1161 But G266 sin G2983 , taking [G5631] G874 occasion G1223 by G1785 the commandment G2716 , wrought [G5662] G1722 in G1698 me G3956 all manner of G1939 concupiscence G1063 . For G5565 without G3551 the law G266 sin G3498 was dead.

9 G1161 For G1473 I G2198 was alive [G5707] G5565 without G3551 the law G4218 once G1161 : but G1785 when the commandment G2064 came [G5631] G266 , sin G326 revived [G5656] G1161 , and G1473 I G599 died [G5627] .

10 G2532 And G1785 the commandment G3588 , which G1519 was ordained to G2222 life G3427 , I G2147 found [G5681] G3778 G1519 to be unto G2288 death.

11 G1063 For G266 sin G2983 , taking [G5631] G874 occasion G1223 by G1785 the commandment G1818 , deceived [G5656] G3165 me G2532 , and G1223 by G846 it G615 slew [G5656] me .

12 G5620 Wherefore G3303 G3551 the law G40 is holy G2532 , and G1785 the commandment G40 holy G2532 , and G1342 just G2532 , and G18 good.

13 G3767 Was then G18 that which is good G1096 made [G5754] G2288 death G1698 unto me G3361 ? God forbid G1096 [G5636] G235 . But G266 sin G2443 , that G5316 it might appear [G5652] G266 sin G2716 , working [G5740] G2288 death G3427 in me G1223 by G18 that which is good G2443 ; that G266 sin G1223 by G1785 the commandment G1096 might become [G5638] G2596 exceeding G5236 G268 sinful.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. ⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were holden; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter. ⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet: ⁸ but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin [is] dead. ⁹ And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died; ¹⁰ and the commandment, which [was] unto life, this I found [to be] unto death: ¹¹ for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me. ¹² So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. ¹³ Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shewn to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good;—that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
