Romans 7:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ For while we were in the flesh, the affections of the sins which were by the law worked in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁶ But now we are free from the law of death in which we were held, that we might serve in newness of Spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

⁷ ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? No, in no wise. But, I did not know sin except by the law; for neither would I have known lust if the law did not say, Thou shalt not covet.
