Romans 7:8-12

8And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.

9Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life again

10and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me.

11For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
