Romans 7:7-13

LITV(i) 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Let it not be! But I did not know sin except through law; for also I did not know lust except the law said, "You shall not lust." Ex. 20:17 8 But sin taking occasion through the commandment worked every lust in me; for apart from law, sin is dead. 9 And I was alive apart from law once, but the commandment came, and sin came alive, and I died. 10 And the commandment which was to life, this was found to be death to me; 11 for sin taking occasion through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me . 12 So indeed the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. 13 Then that which is good, has it become death to me? Let it not be! But sin, that it might appear to be sin, having worked out death to me through the good, in order that sin might become excessively sinful through the commandment.
