In context
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit to death:
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? By no means. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment which [was ordained] to life, I found [to be] to death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
