American Standard Version
"And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died; "
— Romans 7:9, American Standard Version
“For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.”
“I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.”
“And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive”
“And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,”
“And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;”
“For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.”
But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:
but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin is dead.
And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;
and the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death:
for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.
So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
