Romans 7:11
“for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.”
Verse in context — Romans 7
9
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10
The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11
for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12
Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13
Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
