Romans 7:13

---

← Romans 7:12	Romans 7:13 (KJV)	Romans 7:14 →
Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.	Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.	For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
