Romans 7:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 But sin, having taken[a] an opportunity[b] through the commandment, produced[c] every[d] [kind of ] coveting in me. For apart-from[e] the Law, sin is dead[f].
And Sin Used The Law To Kill Me
9 And I was once[g] alive apart from the Law. But the commandment having come, sin became-alive[h] 10 and I died. And the commandment for[i] life— this was found in me to be for[j] death.
