9
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10
The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death;
11
for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12
So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13
Did then that which is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
14
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
