Romans 7:11-13

11 For sin, ^aseizing an opportunity through the commandment, ^bdeceived me and through it killed me. 12 So ^cthe law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.
