Romans 7:7-12

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ What therefore shall we say? The law is sin? God forbid [Far be it]. But I knew not sin, but by [the] law; for I knew not that coveting was sin, but for the law said, Thou shalt not covet.

⁸ And through occasion taken, sin by the commandment hath wrought in me all covetousness [sin by the commandment hath wrought in me all coveting, or covetousness]; for without the law, sin was dead.

⁹ And I lived [Forsooth I lived] without the law sometime; but when the commandment was come, sin lived again. But I was dead,

¹⁰ and this commandment [and the commandment] that was to life, was found to me, to be to death.

¹¹ For sin, through occasion taken by the commandment, deceived me, and by that it slew me [and by it slew me].

¹² Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, and just, and good.
