7:7 God’s Law reveals our sin

7[ref]So what will we say then? Say that the law is sin? Not on your life! I wouldn’t have known what sin was if it wasn’t for the Law. For example, I wouldn’t have known what coveting was if the Law hadn’t told me not to covet. 8But sin took the opportunity from that commandment to produce covetousness in me, because sin would be dead apart from the Law. 9For a time I was living without the Law, but once the commandment came then sin revived 10and I died, and I discovered that the commandment which should lead to life, led to death. 11[ref]Sin deceived me when the commandment gave it an opportunity, and in doing so, it killed me.

12Now the Law is indeed holy and the commandment is holy and righteous and good, 13so did what is good turn into death? Not on your life! Rather it was the good Law that allowed me to see sin as sin and a producer of death


7Therefore what we_will_be_saying?
The law is sin?
Never it_might_become.
But the sin not I_knew, except not/lest by the_law, because/for the and covetousness, not I_had_known, except not/lest the law was_saying:
Not you_will_be_coveting.
8But opportunity having_taken the sin by the command, produced in me all covetousness, because/for apart_from the_law, sin dead.
9But I was_living apart_from law once, but having_come the command, the sin revived, 10and I died_off, and was_found to_me the command, which to life, this was to death.
11For/Because the sin an_opportunity having_taken by the command, deceived me and by it killed_off me.
12So_as the indeed law is holy, and the command is holy, and righteous, and good.
13Therefore the good law to_me became death?
Never it_might_become.
But the sin, in_order_that it_may_be_seen sin by the good law in_me producing death, in_order_that may_become as excess sinful the sin by the command.
