8 The command gave an impulse to sin, and sin resulted for me in all manner of covetous desire — for sin, apart from law, is lifeless.
9 I lived at one time without law myself, but when the command came home to me, sin sprang to life and I died;
10 the command that meant life proved death for me.
11 The command gave an impulse to sin, sin beguiled me and used the command to kill me.
12 So the Law at any rate is holy, the command is holy, just, and for our good.
13 Then did what was meant for my good prove fatal to me? Never! It was sin; sin resulted in death for me by making use of this good thing. This was how sin was to be revealed in its true nature; it was to use the command to become sinful in the extreme.
