Romans 7:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ What shall we then say? Is the Law sin? Absolutely not! No, I did not know sin, except through the Law. For I had not known lust until the Law had said, “You shall not lust”.

⁸ But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of lusts. For without the Law, sin is dead.

⁹ For I was once alive apart from the Law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
