Romans 7:5-13 For while we were in the flesh, the emotions of sin which are by the law, were active in our members, that we should bear fruits unto death.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ For while we were in the flesh, the emotions of sin which are by the law, were active in our members, that we should bear fruits unto death. ⁶ But now we are absolved from the law, and are dead to that which held us in its grasp: that we might henceforth serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. ⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin?, Far be it. For I had not learned sin, except by means of the law: for I had not known concupiscence, had not the law said, Thou shalt not covet: ⁸ and by this commandment, sin found occasion, and perfected in me all concupiscence: for without the law, sin was dead. ⁹ And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died; ¹⁰ and the commandment of life was found by me to be unto death. ¹¹ For sin, by the occasion which it found by means of the commandment, seduced me; and thereby slew me. ¹² Wherefore, the law is holy; and the commandment is holy, and righteous, and good. ¹³ Did that which is good, therefore, become death to me? Far be it. But sin, that it might be seen to be sin, perfected death in me by means of that good law; that sin might the more be condemned, by means of the commandment.
