Romans 7:7-9

7What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;

8but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.

9But I was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but I died.
