Romans 7:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]Wherefore the Law is (A)holy, and that [b]commandment is holy, and just, and good.
13 [c]Was that then which is good, [d]made death unto me? God forbid: but sin, that it might [e]appear sin, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sin might be [f]out of measure sinful by the commandment.
14 [g]For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

- Romans 7:12 Touching not coveting.
- Romans 7:13 The proposition: That the Law is not the cause of death, but our corrupt nature, being therewith not only discovered, but also stirred up, and took occasion thereby to rebel, as which, the more that things are forbidden it, the more it desireth them, and from hence cometh guiltiness, and occasion of death.
- Romans 7:13 Beareth it the blame of my death?
- Romans 7:13 That sin might show itself to be sin, and bewray itself to be that, which is in deed.
- Romans 7:13 As evil as it could, showing all the venom it could.
- Romans 7:14 The cause of this matter, is this: Because that the Law requireth a heavenly pureness, but men, such as they be born, are bondslaves of corruption, which they willingly serve.

Romans 7:12-14
New International Version
12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(A)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(B) to bring about my death,(C) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(D) sold(E) as a slave to sin.(F)
