Romans 7:6-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

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.

⁸ Then sin, when there was occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of lust. For without the law sin was as if it were dormant.
