Romans 7:4-11 Thus, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law, by the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, who rose from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Thus, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law, by the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, who rose from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, our sinful passions which were through the law, wrought effectually in our members, to bring forth fruit to death. ⁶ But now, having died with Christ, we are released from the law, by which we were held in bondage; so that we may serve God in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of the letter. ⁷ What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? By no means. Indeed, I had not known sin, except by the law. For I had not known even inordinate desire, unless the law had said, "You shall not lust." ⁸ But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of inordinate desire: for without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For I was alive, once, without the law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. ¹⁰ Yes, the commandment which was for live, the very same was found to be death to me. ¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
