Romans 7:7-13

7What shall we sayG3004 thenG3767? [is] the lawG3551 sinG266? Far be the thought. But I had not knownG1097 sinG266, unless by lawG3551: for I had not had conscience alsoG5037 of lustG1939 unless the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shalt not lustG1939;

8but sinG266, getting a point of attack by the commandmentG1785, wrought in me every lustG1939; for without lawG3551 sinG266 [was] deadG3498.

9But I was aliveG2198 without lawG3551 onceG4218; but the commandmentG1785 having comeG2064, sinG266 revived, but I died.

10And the commandmentG1785, which [was] for lifeG2222, was foundG2147, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto deathG2288:

11for sinG266, getting a point of attack by the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818 me, and by it slew [me].

12So that the lawG3551 indeed [is] holyG40, and the commandmentG1785 holyG40, and justG1342, and goodG18.

13Did thenG3767 that which is goodG18 becomeG1096 deathG2288 to me? Far be the thought. But sinG266, that it might appearG5316 sinG266, working deathG2288 to me by that which is goodG18; in orderG2443 that sinG266 by the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceeding sinfulG268.
