Rom 7:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : Paul explains how sin uses the law to provoke disobedience. He says, Sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence (sinful desires) (Romans 7:8 ). Our sinful nature often desires what is forbidden. Without the law, sin remains "dead" in the sense that it is not fully visible or active. But the law brings sin to light, and our corrupt nature rebels against its restrictions.
