Romans 7:7-11 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! But I had not known sin, except through law; for I had not known coveting, if the law had not said: Thou shalt not covet.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! But I had not known sin, except through law; for I had not known coveting, if the law had not said: Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting. For without law, sin is dead. ⁹ And I was alive without law once; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which was for life, that I found to be for death. ¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
