Therefore, my brethren, you also have become (A)dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should (B)bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law (C)were at work in our members (D)to bear fruit to death. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve (E)in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

Sin’s Advantage in the Law

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, (F)I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, (G)“You shall not covet.” But (H)sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For (I)apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, (J)which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(A) through the body of Christ,(B) that you might belong to another,(C) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](D) the sinful passions aroused by the law(E) were at work in us,(F) so that we bore fruit for death.(G) But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(H) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(I)

The Law and Sin

What shall we say, then?(J) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(K) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(L) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](M) But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(N) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(O) Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(P) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(Q) deceived me,(R) and through the commandment put me to death.

Glory of the New Covenant

But if (F)the ministry of death, (G)written and engraved on stones, was glorious, (H)so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will (I)the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
