Romans 7:7-13 Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead. ⁹ But I was alive at one time without law: but the commandment having come, sin revived, ¹⁰ and I died; and the commandment, which was unto life, the same was unto death. ¹¹ For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it slew me. ¹² So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. ¹³ Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment.
