⁷ What tis then oun shall we say legō? Is the ho law nomos sin hamartia? By no means mē! On the contrary alla, I would ginōskō not ou have known ginōskō · ho sin hamartia except ei mē through dia the law nomos; · ho that gar is , I would oida not ou have known oida what it means to covet epithumia had not ei mē the ho law nomos said legō, “ You shall not ou covet epithumeō.” ⁸ But de sin hamartia, seizing lambanō the opportunity aphormē · ho through dia the ho commandment entolē, produced katergazomai in en me egō all pas kinds of covetousness epithumia. ( For gar apart chōris from the law nomos, sin hamartia is dead nekros.) ⁹ I egō · de was once pote alive zaō apart chōris from the law nomos, but de when the ho commandment entolē came erchomai, · ho sin hamartia came to anazaō life ¹⁰ and de I egō died apothnēskō. · kai I found heuriskō that the ho very houtos commandment entolē that ho promised eis life zōē brought eis death thanatos to me egō! ¹¹ · ho For gar sin hamartia, seizing lambanō the opportunity aphormē through dia the ho commandment entolē, deceived exapataō me egō and kai through dia it autos killed apokteinō me. ¹² So hōste then , the ho law nomos is holy hagios, and kai the ho commandment entolē is holy hagios and kai righteous dikaios and kai good agathos.

¹³ Did ginomai that ho which is good agathos, then oun, become ginomai death thanatos to me egō? By no means mē!
