8but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin [is] dead.
9And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;
10and the commandment, which [was] unto life, this I found [to be] unto death:
11for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.
12So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; --that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
