Romans 7:7-12 What then, say we the law is sin? Not so. But sin I had not learned (to know) but by the law: for I had not known concupiscence (to be sinful), but (by) the law, which hath said, Thou shalt not covet.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ What then, say we the law is sin? Not so. But sin I had not learned (to know) but by the law: for I had not known concupiscence (to be sinful), but (by) the law, which hath said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ And by this commandment sin found for itself an occasion, and completed in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. ⁹ But I was alive without the law formerly: but when the commandment came, sin lived, and I died. ¹⁰ And that commandment of life was found to me (to tend) unto death. ¹¹ For sin, by the occasion it found through the commandment, deceived me, and thereby killed me. ¹² The law therefore is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
