Romans 7:5-13 For whan we were in the flesh, the synfull lustes (which were stered vp by the lawe) were mightie in oure membres to brynge forth frute vnto death.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For whan we were in the flesh, the synfull lustes (which were stered vp by the lawe) were mightie in oure membres to brynge forth frute vnto death. ⁶ But now are we lowsed from the lawe, and deed vnto it, that helde vs captyue, so that we shulde serue in a new conuersacion of the sprete, and not in the olde conuersacion of the letter. ⁷ What shal we saye then? Is the lawe synne? God forbyd: Neuertheles I knewe not synne, but by ye lawe. For I had knowne nothinge of lust, yf the lawe had not sayde: Thou shalt not lust. ⁸ But then toke synne occasion at the commaundement, and stered vp in me all maner of lust. For without the lawe synne was deed. ⁹ As for me, I lyued some tyme without lawe. Howbeit whan the commaundement came, synne reuyued, but I was deed. ¹⁰ And the very same commaundement that was geuen me vnto life, was founde to be vnto me on occasion of death. ¹¹ For synne toke occasion at the comaundement, and disceaued me, and slewe me by the same commaundement. ¹² The lawe in dede is holy, and the commaundement holy, iust and good. ¹³ Is that then which is good, become death vnto me? God forbyd. But synne, that it mighte appeare how yt it is synne, hath wroughte me death thorow good: that synne mighte be out of measure synfull by the commaundement.
