Romans 7:6-8 But now we are freed from the law, being dead to that which had hold upon us; and we should henceforth serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ But now we are freed from the law, being dead to that which had hold upon us; and we should henceforth serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. ⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Far be it. I would not have known the meaning of sin, except by means of the law: for I would never have known the meaning of lust, except the law said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ So by means of this commandment, sin found an occasion and provoked in me every kind of lust. For without the law sin was dead.
