And Sin Used The Law To Kill Me
9 And I was once[a] alive apart from the Law. But the commandment having come, sin became-alive[b] 10 and I died. And the commandment for[c] life— this was found in me to be for[d] death. 11 For sin, having taken an opportunity through the commandment, deceived[e] me, and through it, killed me.
