7 G5101 What G2046 shall we say [G5692] G3767 then G3551 ? Is the law G266 sin G3361 ? God forbid G1096 [G5636] G235 . Nay G1097 , I had G3756 not G1097 known [G5627] G266 sin G1508 , but G1223 by G3551 the law G1063 : for G5037 G1492 I had G3756 not G1492 known [G5715] G1939 lust G1508 , except G3551 the law G3004 had said [G5707] G1937 , Thou shalt G3756 not G1937 covet [G5692] .

8 G1161 But G266 sin G2983 , taking [G5631] G874 occasion G1223 by G1785 the commandment G2716 , wrought [G5662] G1722 in G1698 me G3956 all manner of G1939 concupiscence G1063 . For G5565 without G3551 the law G266 sin G3498 was dead.

9 G1161 For G1473 I G2198 was alive [G5707] G5565 without G3551 the law G4218 once G1161 : but G1785 when the commandment G2064 came [G5631] G266 , sin G326 revived [G5656] G1161 , and G1473 I G599 died [G5627] .

10 G2532 And G1785 the commandment G3588 , which G1519 was ordained to G2222 life G3427 , I G2147 found [G5681] G3778 G1519 to be unto G2288 death.

11 G1063 For G266 sin G2983 , taking [G5631] G874 occasion G1223 by G1785 the commandment G1818 , deceived [G5656] G3165 me G2532 , and G1223 by G846 it G615 slew [G5656] me .

12 G5620 Wherefore G3303 G3551 the law G40 is holy G2532 , and G1785 the commandment G40 holy G2532 , and G1342 just G2532 , and G18 good.

13 G3767 Was then G18 that which is good G1096 made [G5754] G2288 death G1698 unto me G3361 ? God forbid G1096 [G5636] G235 . But G266 sin G2443 , that G5316 it might appear [G5652] G266 sin G2716 , working [G5740] G2288 death G3427 in me G1223 by G18 that which is good G2443 ; that G266 sin G1223 by G1785 the commandment G1096 might become [G5638] G2596 exceeding G5236 G268 sinful.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. ⁹ For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. ¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. ¹² Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
