8 But sin, finding an opportunity in the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetousness. Apart from the law sin is dead.
9 I once lived outside the law, but when the commandment came, sin became alive;
10 then I died, and the commandment that was for life turned out to be death for me.
11 For sin, seizing an opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and through it put me to death.
12 So then the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
13 Did the good, then, become death for me? Of course not! Sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin, worked death in me through the good, so that sin might become sinful beyond measure through the commandment.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold into slavery to sin.
