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

Therefore, did what is good cause my death? Absolutely not! On the contrary, sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.

So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me.

For the law produces wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression.

The law came along to multiply the trespass. But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more,

But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

For the law produces wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
