Romans 7:6-8 But now the Law no longer applies to us; we have died to what once controlled us, so that we can now serve in the new Spirit, not under the old letter.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ But now the Law no longer applies to us; we have died to what once controlled us, so that we can now serve in the new Spirit, not under the old letter. ⁷ Then what shall we conclude? That the Law is sin? Certainly not! Yet, if it had not been for the Law, I should never have learned what sin was; I should not have known what it was to covet if the Law had not said, "You must not covet." ⁸ That command gave sin an opening, and it led me to all sorts of covetous ways, for sin is lifeless without law.
