Romans 7:8-11 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁸But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

          9Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
          10So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
          11For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
