Romans 7:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 7:11

9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

10 And the commandment, ^awhich was to bring life, I found to bring death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

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

Law Cannot Save from Sin

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.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, ^asold under sin.

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.
