Romans 7:7-13 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. ¹³ The good, then, unto me, unto death was made? Not so. But sin, that it might be seen what sin is, by the good (law) effected death in me, that sin might be the more condemned by the commandment.
