Romans 7:9-13

9And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive

10and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!

11For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.

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

13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.
