⁸ but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin `is' dead.

¹¹ for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.

¹⁵ for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁰ And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:

¹³ Did 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.

¹⁷ So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

¹⁴ but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

¹⁵ Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
