Romans 7:7-9 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.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
