8. But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
9. Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
10. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
11. For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
12. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
