Romans 7:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 For when we were in the flesh,[a](A) the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us[b](B) and bore fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way[c] of the Spirit(C) and not in the old letter of the law.
Sin’s Use of the Law
7 What should we say then?(D) Is the law sin? Absolutely not!(E) On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law.(F) For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet.(G)[d]
