“And I was alive apart from 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 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 released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said,“Do not covet.”
But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive
and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!
For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
