Romans 7:5-7 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, was working in our members, that they might bear-fruit to death.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, was working in our members, that they might bear-fruit to death. ⁶ But now we have been done-away-with from the law, having died in what we were being held; so-that we are to serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the writing.
⁷ Therefore what shall we say? Is the law sin? Let it not happen! But, I did not know sin, except through the law; for I also did not know coveting.
