Romans 7:7-11
7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
7:8 But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
7:9 And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive
7:10 and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!
7:11 For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.
