LEB(i)
4 So then, my brothers, you also were brought to death with respect to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, sinful desires were working through the law in our members, to bear fruit for death.
6 But now we have been released from the law, because we* have died to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter of the law.
7 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, "Do not covet."*
8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 And I was alive once, apart from the law, but when* the commandment came, sin sprang to life
10 and I died, and this commandment which was to lead to life was found with respect to me to lead to death.
11 For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
