Romans 7:7-12
God’s Law Is Holy
7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
7:
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead.
8:
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
9:
10 And the commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I found [to be] unto death.
10:
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
11:
12 Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
12:
