⁸ But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

¹¹ for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

¹⁵ For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

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

²⁴ If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

²⁰ 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 to me? May it never be! 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 dwells in me.

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

¹⁵ Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
