9Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
9Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet."
8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead.
9 Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
7:9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
7:9And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,
7:9And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;
7:9But I was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but I died.
7:9And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;
7:9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
7:9I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
7:9And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;
7:9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
