Romans 7:5-13 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were excited by the law, were active in our members, so as to bring forth fruit to death:

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were excited by the law, were active in our members, so as to bring forth fruit to death: ⁶ but now we are made free from the law, being dead to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. ⁷ What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It can not be. Indeed, I had not known sin, except through law. For I had not known evil desire, unless the law had said: You shall not have any evil desire. ⁸ But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, rendered active within me every evil desire. For without the law, sin was dead. ⁹ Indeed, I was alive with out the law, once; but when the commandment came, sin be came alive, and I died: ¹⁰ and the commandment, which was given for life, I found to be for death. ¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. ¹² Therefore, the law is holy, and the commandment, holy and just and good. ¹³ Has, then, that which is good become death to me? It can not be. But sin, that it, might appear sin, was causing death to me through that which is good, in order that sin, through the commandment, might become exceedingly sinful.
