Romans 7:8-11
Amplified Bible
8 But sin, finding an opportunity through the commandment [to express itself] produced in me every kind of coveting and selfish desire. For without the Law sin is dead [the recognition of sin is inactive]. 9 I was once alive without [knowledge of] the Law; but when the commandment came [and I understood its meaning], sin became alive and I died [since the Law sentenced me to death].(A) 10 And the very commandment which was intended to bring life, actually proved to bring death for me.(B) 11 For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, beguiled and completely deceived me, and [a]using it as a weapon killed me [separating me from God].

Romans 7:8-11
New International Version
8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(A) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(B) 9 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(C) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(D) deceived me,(E) and through the commandment put me to death.
