Romans 7:8-11 But when sin had gained a vantage-ground, by means of the commandment, it stirred up within me all manner of lust; for where there is no law, sin is dead.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But when sin had gained a vantage-ground, by means of the commandment, it stirred up within me all manner of lust; for where there is no law, sin is dead. ⁹ Once I lived apart from the Law, myself; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died; ¹⁰ and the very commandment which should have meant life, this I found to mean death. ¹¹ For sin, when it had gained a vantage-ground through the commandment, beguiled me, and through it slew me.
