⁸ But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

¹⁵ Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength 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 cloak for their sin.

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

²⁰ Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

¹³ Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

¹⁷ Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

¹⁴ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

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