Romans 7:7-12

« Romans 6Romans 7Romans 8 »

7 ^aWhat shall we say then? Is the Law sin? ^bMay it never be! Rather, ^cI would not have come to know sin except ¹through the Law. For I would not have known about ²coveting if the Law had not said, “^dYou shall not ²covet.” 8 But sin, ^ataking opportunity ^bthrough the commandment, worked out in me ¹coveting of every kind. For ^capart ²from the Law sin is dead. 9 Now I was once alive apart ¹from the Law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died; 10 and this commandment, which was ¹^ato lead to life, was found ²to lead to death for me. 11 For sin, ^ataking an opportunity ^bthrough the commandment, ^cdeceived me and through it killed me. 12 ^aSo, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

Galatians 3:21

« Gal 2Gal 3Gal 4 »

21 Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? ^aMay it never be! For ^bif a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed be by law.
