"for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me."
— Romans 7:11, World English Bible
“For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. ”
“for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me. ”
“For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.”
“For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me: and by it killed me.”
“For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.”
“For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. ”
But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
