Romans 7:7-13 What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust.

Tyndale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust. ⁸ But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed. ⁹ I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed. ¹⁰ And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth. ¹¹ For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we. ¹² Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good. ¹³ Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.
