Romans 7:12-14

Twentieth_Century(i) 12 And so the Law is holy, and each Commandment is also holy, and just, and good. 13 Did, then, a thing, which in itself was good, involve Death in my case? Heaven forbid! It was sin that involved Death; so that, by its use of what I regarded as good to bring about my Death, its true nature might appear; and in this way the Commandment showed how intensely sinful sin is. 14 We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am earthly-sold into slavery to Sin.
