12 Therefore ^athe law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.  ‡

13 Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. ^aFor what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.  ‡

16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
