[5] For when in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in members to bring forth fruit unto death. [6] But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. [7] What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, not known sin, by the law: for not known lust, the law not covet. [8] But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. [9] For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. [10] And the commandment, which was ordained to life, found to be unto death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived and by it slew [12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. [13] Was then that which is good made death God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
