Romans 7:7-11 (5:2) What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. On the contrary I knew not sin except through the law; for I had not known inordinate desire, unless the law had said, You shall not desire inordinately.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ ^(5:2) What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. On the contrary I knew not sin except through the law; for I had not known inordinate desire, unless the law had said, You shall not desire inordinately. ⁸ But Sin having taken occasion through the commandment wrought in me every inordinate desire; for without the law sin was dead. ⁹ ^(5:3) And I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died, ¹⁰ and the commandment which was for life was found to be for death. ¹¹ For sin having taken occasion through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me.
