Romans 7:8 Context
6But now wee are deliuered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serue in newnesse of spirit, and not in the oldnesse of the letter. 7What shall wee say then? is the law sinne? God forbid. Nay, I had not knowen sinne, but by the lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Law had said, Thou shalt not couet. 8But sinne taking occasion by the commaundement, wrought in me all maner of concupiscence. For without the Law sinne was dead. 9For I was aliue without the Law once, but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued, and I died. 10And the commandement which was ordained to life, I found to be vnto death.
