Romans 7:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ Once I was alive, but quite apart from and unconscious of the Law. But when the commandment came, sin lived again and I died (was sentenced by the Law to death).^(A)

¹⁰ And the very legal ordinance which was designed and intended to bring life actually proved [to mean to me] death.^(B)

¹¹ For sin, seizing the opportunity and getting a hold on me [by taking its incentive] from the commandment, beguiled and entrapped and cheated me, and using it [as a weapon], killed me.
