Romans 7:7-13

7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."

8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.

9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died.

10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.

11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.

12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. 

罗马书 7：7-13

7:7 这样，我们可说什么呢？律法是罪吗？断乎不是！只是非因律法，我就不知何为罪。非律法说“不可起贪心”，我就不知何为贪心。 

7:8 然而，罪趁着机会，就藉着诫命叫诸般的贪心在我里头发动；因为没有律法，罪是死的。 

7:9 我以前没有律法是活着的；但是诫命来到，罪又活了，我就死了。 

7:10 那本来叫人活的诫命，反倒叫我死； 7:11 因为罪趁着机会，就藉着诫命引诱我，并且杀了我。 

7:12 这样看来，律法是圣洁的，诫命也是圣洁、公义、良善的。 

7:13 既然如此，那良善的是叫我死吗？断乎不是！叫我死的乃是罪。但罪藉着那良善的叫我死，就显出真是罪，叫罪因着诫命更显出是恶极了。
