Romans 7:7-11 ▼

7 What shall we say then? Is the lawe sinne? God forbyd. Neuerthelesse, I knewe not sinne, but by the lawe: For I had not knowen lust, except the lawe had sayde, thou shalt not lust.

8 But sinne, takyng occasion by the commaundement, wrought in me all maner of concupiscence. For without the lawe, sinne was dead.

9 I once lyued without lawe: But when the commaundement came, sinne reuyued,

10 And I was dead. And the very same commaundemet, which was ordeyned vnto lyfe, was founde to be vnto me an occasion of death.

11 For sinne, takyng occasion by the commaundement, hath deceaued me, and by the same slewe me.
