Romans 7:5-13 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, was working in our members, that they might bear-fruit to death.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, was working in our members, that they might bear-fruit to death. ⁶ But now we have been done-away-with from the law, having died in what we were being held; so-that we are to serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the writing.
⁷ Therefore what shall we say? Is the law sin? Let it not happen! But, I did not know sin, except through the law; for I also did not know coveting. ⁸ But sin, having taken a starting-point, worked in me through the commandment all manner of coveting; for separate from the law sin is dead. ⁹ But I was previously living separate from the law, but when the commandment came, sin lived again through me and I died; ¹⁰ and the commandment which was to life, it was found in me to be to death; ¹¹ for sin, having taken a starting-point through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. ¹² So-that the law indeed is holy and the commandment holy and righteous and good. ¹³ Therefore what is the good thing for me, has it become death? Let it not happen! But sin, in order that it might appear as sin, through what is the good thing for me, was working death; in order that sin might become a surpassingly-better sinner through the commandment.
