Romans 7:8-13

Living_Oracles(i) 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. 12 Wherefore, the law is holy, and the commandment holy, just, and good. 13 Has, then, that which is good become death to me? By no means. But sin becomes death, in order that it might manifest itself, causing death to me by that which is good: so that sin, (through the commandment,) might be an exceedingly great sinner.
