Romans 7:5-7
English Standard Version
5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work (A)in our members (B)to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the (C)new way of (D)the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.[a]
The Law and Sin
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, (E)I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if (F)the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”
