Romans 7:10

Verse 10 of 25. The 7th of 16 chapters in Romans, in The Letters of Paul.

6But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

8But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

9I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

10The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;

11for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

12Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.

13Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

14For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
