Romans 7:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ And the very legal ordinance which was designed and intended to bring life actually proved [to mean to me] death.^(A)

¹¹ For sin, seizing the opportunity and getting a hold on me [by taking its incentive] from the commandment, beguiled and entrapped and cheated me, and using it [as a weapon], killed me.

¹² The Law therefore is holy, and [each] commandment is holy and just and good.
