Romans 7:9-11
New International Version
9 Once I was alive apart from the 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(A) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(B) deceived me,(C) and through the commandment put me to death.
