Romans 7:5-13 For when we were in the flesshe, the lustes of synne whych were stered vp by the lawe, raygned in oure members, to brynge forth frute vnto deeth.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For when we were in the flesshe, the lustes of synne whych were stered vp by the lawe, raygned in oure members, to brynge forth frute vnto deeth. ⁶ But now are we delyuered from the lawe, and deed vnto it wher vnto we were in bondage, that we shuld serue in a new conuersacyon of the sprete, and not in the olde conuersacyon of the letter. ⁷ What shall we saye then? is the lawe synne? God forbyd: neuertheles I knew not synne, but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant, excepte the lawe had sayd, thou shalt not lust. ⁸ But synne toke an occasyon by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verely without the lawe, synne was deed. ⁹ I once lyued wythout lawe. But when the commaundement came, synne reuiued, and I was deed. ¹⁰ And the very same commaundement, whych was ordeyned vnto lyfe, was founde to be vnto me an occasyon of deeth. ¹¹ For synne toke occasyon by the meanes of the commaundement, and so disceaued me, & by the same slewe me. ¹² Wherfore the lawe is holy, and the commaundement holy, and iust and good. ¹³ Was that then which was good, made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye it was synne: that sinne might appeare (by it which was good) to worke deeth in me: that synne by the commaundement myght be out of measure synfull.
