Romans 7:4-11 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions excited by the law, wrought powerfully in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. ⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, that being dead by which we were held fast; that we should serve in renovation of spirit, and not in the antiquity of the letter. ⁷ What then shall we say? Is the law sin? God forbid. Yea, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not even known concupiscence, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me.
