Romans 7:6-8

MLV(i) 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.
