Romans 7:9-14
-
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
-
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
-
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
-
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
-
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
-
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
