Romans 7:11

Read in context

Romans 7:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

10 So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.

11 For sin, seizing its opportunity through 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.

13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
