Romans 7:9

⁷  What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

⁸  But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

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.
