Romans 7:6-8 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.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
