Romans 7:13-14
New American Standard Bible
13 Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? [a](A)Far from it! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by bringing about my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.
The Conflict of Serving Two Masters
14 For we know that the Law is (B)spiritual, but I am (C)fleshly, (D)sold [b](E)into bondage to sin.

International Standard Version
The Problem of the Sin that Lives in Us
13 Now, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as being sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the rule, sin might become more exposed as being[a] sinful than ever before. 14 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am merely human,[b] sold as a slave to sin.[c]
